While those problems do exist in some specific areas of California, all the big (by acreage, and I’m pretty sure even by $$ damage) fires in California have had little to nothing to do with them.
Just large amounts of overgrowth and badly maintained forests + hotter and drier conditions + more human habitation in wilderness areas == more wildfires.
That non-native....fire adapted..... species of plants are thriving, is as you say,due to the actual environmental conditions present. And at the same time there are hundreds of other
non-ative species present from rain forsets, mountains,and other environments, that are barely surviving due to inhospitable conditions.
Blather:
The difference between grass land and forests is primarily due to the amount of rain that falls, and California toggles back and forth across that line, depending on altitude and prevailing winds, with a natural order of succession in species taking place driven by climate warming, that changes in the resulting rainfall paterns.
If you believd in CO² then then blame resides in a mirror, and if not blame, then responsibility to
adress it personaly, and if not responsibility, then at least consider what to do, from a perspective of pragmatic self interest, because its not going away, and its now a non zero chance, that a major world city will burn completely, and insurance as we know it will also be gone.
