Abstract
During the early 1970s (e.g., Mooney 1977) much effort was made to compare the Chilean matorral and Californian chaparral, two types of vegetation in similar mediterranean climates, but with the dominant woody species having different evolutionary histories. The underlying hypothesis was that if similar climates significantly affect ecosystem structure, then the matorral and chaparral should be more similar to each other than to the corresponding nearby ecosystems under different climatic constraints. The hypothesis did not specify identity under similar climatic conditions, but only relative similarity.KeywordsSmall MammalHuman DisturbanceLitter RemovalSmall Mammal CommunitySummer StormThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
