This environment is generally dry to begin with, and it may have a fairly high fuel load (compared to the amount of vegetation). Animals that cannot escape will die, and those that do cannot return to the swept area because food and cover is generally gone. These animals end up being displaced, and this puts pressure on other populations that are added to by the refugees. Certainly plants are largely generally gone, and, because the chaparral is quite arid and plant species there are generally slow growing, it takes time for those plants to make a comeback. During the time the denuded area is exposed after the fire, erosion can have a marked effect on the area.

What are people's opinions on wildfires in California?
As a (somewhat educated) Californian, my humble opinion is that they are a deadly prerequisite for new life. Lightning strikes account for very few of the wildfires that occur each year. SmokeyBear would say that 90% of wildfires (or more) are caused by human carelessness. An arboreal specialist would tell us that each tree harbors at least 100 lives. Proper management of our forests (including control of the underbrush) would reduce the number of wildfires each year. Without the cleansing effect of wildfires, forests would be unable to evolve.
