"The chaparral on the California islands, because it is generally protected from fire and often badly overgrazed or overbrowsed by feral goats and sheep and introduced deer and bison and otherwise badly disturbed by feral pigs, approaches more closely open sclerophyllous woodland than fire-prone mainland chaparral. Species that are normally shrubs on the mainland often appear quite treelike."
