Is it true that forest fires allow new plants to grow?
No, a forest fire does not allow new plants to grow since when a forest fire breaks out, the effects can be terrible. Wildlife is destroyed and driven out by the flames and heat. After the forest fire, the forest appears completely different. The plants and trees have now turned into charcoal, smoke and ash. We have to wait for centuries for the new plants to grow and replace the old forest.
How are forest fires helpful in succession?
because when a forest fire happens it destroys the forest but then the trees grow again but with more nutrients
Which of the following describes a process of succession after a forest fire?
It depends on where the fire occurs, and what kind of habitat is present. In general, most often, grasses and forbs will become reestablished first, followed within a couple years by the return of sapling trees and woody plants. Over many decades, fast-growing trees will become reestablished first, then eventually give way to old-growth forest types of trees.
Why does a flame grow bigger when you blow gently onto it but when a fire burns it feeds on oxygen?
Blowing on a fire does two contradictory things. First, it provides more oxygen which causes the fire to burn hotter, and secondly, it cools off whatever is burning, causing the fire to die back.
How do forest fires help in germination?
some seeds found in the Chapparal have adapted their outer coat (Testa) to be able to be penetrated only after scorched by fire. after a forest fire, the protective layer may weaken, making it easier for the Radical (future stem) to puncture it and begin to grow.
What do you call the process when a forest grows back after a forest fire?
Reforestation? Small plants grow but are eventually replaced by larger plants.
What effect do lychens have on their environment?
They are the very first plants to grow after a volcano exploding or forest fire.

How are forest fires part of forest depletion?
it destroys wildlife and trees and brush. so it takes longer to grow back and get back to the way it was before, the wildfires. The human population thinks that since it was on fire and there is not life that its a waste of land. so we start building houses before it can grow back.
How do plants grow after a forest fire?
through secondary succesion
How do plant effect the quality of ait?

How might the ash be beneficial to agriculture?
in the forest when there is a forest fire, not long after, the ash helps the new plants grow

Fuel as to Fern as what is to byrophytes?
Pioneer Species. Mosses are bryophytes and are often considered a "pioneer species" that will establish itself first in a forest that has been cleared by a forest fire. Ferns and other vascular plants are the "fuel" of the fires and burn out. Then when the forest begins to grow again, the non-vascular plants like the mosses (bryophytes) will grow first.
What type of succession occur after a forest fire?
Secondary succesion because the forest or life has to grow again! :)
Why does a forest industry send crews into forest fire areas after the forest regenerates to thin the newly grown trees five to ten years after the fire?
Because trees grow faster, healthier and bigger if they aren't too crowded.
