Question
which biome is located in coastal areas and has plants adapted to fire?* chaparral desert savanna grassland
Chaparral is a biome located in coastal areas. It has a Mediterranean - type climate with hot, dry summers. Fires are common in this biome. Plants in the chaparral have adaptations to fire. For example, some plants have seeds that only germinate after being exposed to fire (serotiny), and others have thick bark to protect the inner tissues during a fire.
Deserts are arid regions with very low precipitation. While some desert plants have adaptations to drought, fire - specific adaptations are not a key characteristic of the desert biome.
Savannas are grasslands with scattered trees. They are more associated with adaptations to seasonal drought and grazing rather than fire as a primary selective pressure in the way chaparral plants are.
Grasslands are dominated by grasses. They have adaptations to grazing and drought in some cases, but fire - specific adaptations like those in chaparral (e.g., serotiny) are not as prominent.
