The most significant local factors controlling vegetation distribution and plant diversity in the Santa Monica Mountains are wildfire and the extended summer dry period associated with a Mediterranean-type climate. Fire is an inevitable recurring event because of the combination of vegetation type, climate, topography and land use. Both the number of fires and the total amount of area burned is increasing in the Santa Monica Mountains and elsewhere in the mountain foothills surrounding urban southern California. Altered fire regimes are resulting in profound changes in vegetation assemblages and structure and, in the most extreme cases, vegetation-fire feedback cycles resulting in the extirpation of native shrub species and vegetation type conversion. We review the fire history of the Santa Monica Mountains and describe how altered fire regimes, plant life histories, and plant physiological traits interact to affect landscapelevel vegetation patterns.
