New Fire Sparks in Woolsey Burn Area
The Bryson fire in Malibu reflects a recurring pattern of wildfires in the Santa Monica Mountains, where fires reignite within decades due to the rapid regrowth of natural chaparral ecosystems. Frequent human ignitions and annual fires hinder native plants from fully maturing and replenishing seed banks, leading to invasive grasses replacing native species. This type conversion creates more flammable conditions, increasing the risk of larger, more destructive fires.
