its a natural course of recycling nutrients into the soil. slash and burn is bad because they overdue it for farming, but say there was a natural fire in some forest caused by lightning... i wouldn't say its very beneficial but its not a bad thing because the trees and plants there will turn into nutrient rich ash which would be absorbed by the soil and new trees and plants would grow in their places. so it could be considered helpful to promote new life of the plants and what not but think about what it would do to all the animals inhabiting that area =X
