Geology
The main abiotic factors of the Northern California Chaparral are the neighboring bodies of water. The chaparral coastline lies on the Pacific Ocean, while further inland there are many bays. For example, the San Francisco, San Pablo, Grizzly, and Suisun bays all lie in the chaparral biome.
Also near the chaparral are many mountain ranges, including the Cascade Mountain Range and the Pacific Coastal Ranges.

Flora and Fauna
The larger animal species of the Northern California Chaparral are coyotes, bobcats, and mountain lions. However, commonly seen species with larger population sizes are jays, squirrels and rattlesnakes. The indigenous plant species are types of cactus, poison oak and scrub oak. However, the plant life in the chaparral is customarily shrubs, which grow low to the ground and have branches similar to trees.
