Getting outside my wheelhouse, but research has demonstrated a positive feedback loop between frequent fires and native shrubland --> non-native annual grassland conversion in SoCal. And weeds like broom, eucs, etc. can create higher fuel loads. More here: https://www.cnps.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Fremontia-V47-N2-LR.pdf …
There are so, so many benefits to restoring native veg - wildlife, fire *resilience* (less likely to lose ecological functions with fire), carbon sequestration, hydrology, etc. But ignitions, fuel dryness, landscape management, etc. are huge pieces of the puzzle too.
