But this "environment" is entirely artificial.
- flexie 9y agoYes, isn't it? Much of California was a barren desert before cultivated by Europeans. It's not like it used to be one big forest before the Europeans settled.
- s0rce 9y agoNo it wasn't, there is a big desert but much was grassland, coastal shrubs, scattered trees in the foothills and forests in the mountains.
- castis 9y agoYou're right that it was never a big forest, but it was never much of a barren desert either. The biome type is chaparral.

I grant that we talk about very different ecosystems but we should not forget that both Redwood species are exclusive from this area.
- bbctol 9y agoThat's the cloud forests of Northern California. Southern California isn't a true desert, but the largest things you'll find are mostly scrub.
