Are Forest fires and smoking related?
Forest fires can be caused by improperly discarded smoking materials.
How do people contribute to forest fires?
Humans Contributing To Forest FiresPeople can contribute to forest fires by starting them. Many forest fires are begun because of human carelessness. Smoking, machines, recreation, and campfires are the main reasons humans begin forest fires.Natural Forest Fire CausesLightening and a mixture of drought/windy climates can result in forest fires.
What events can cause succession?
things like forest fires, floods, or other disasters can cause secondary succession.
What human activities can result in secondary succession?

What influence do humans have in succession?
Human beings influence succession by suspending succession at one phase, for example, through forest fires. This causes the cycle to restart. Succession is the process by which a plant community replace another overtime.

What impact do humans have on succession?
This seemingly simple question has a complicated answer. Succession is the process by which one plant community replaces another over time in a given space, i.e. grassland to deciduous forest to coniferous forest. Natural events, such as forest fires, can reset the succession cycle back to a grassland, for instance, at any point in the cycle. Humans can impact succession in a number of ways by suspending succession in one phase or another or by causing an event that restarts the succession cycle (i.e. starting a forest fire). Suspending succession: We suspend succession when we promote one type of ecological community over another. For example, we manage some forests for the purpose of harvesting timber at a later time. Here, the emphasis is on mature, full-bodied trees that have balanced competition from neighboring trees. These trees will be harvested before they begin to fall down and begin to turn the forest into an old-growth forest where new growth comes up where old trees fall in the forest. Promoting and attempting to sustain this type of forest prohibits plants and animals that specialize in old-growth forests from getting established. Another interesting way in which we impact succession has been the impetus to extinguish all forest fires since the early 1900s. Fires are naturally occurring and are an important way in which forest ages are regulated naturally, which, in turn, regulates the mosaic of food sources and wildlife habitats that occur. Putting out fires for most of the last century has resulted in larger forest fires more recently and decreased plant & animal diversity. Restarting succession: We also can restart succession by starting wildfires, either intentionally or unintentionally. While not inherently bad in the grand scheme of nature - after all, nature in many cases depends on fire - it is a way in which man impacts succession.
Why putting out forest fires may be damaging in the long run?
Fire suppression disrupts plant succession patterns in the forest and limits the variety of habitat available to animals.
