Many researchers have arrived at that conclusion. The first are undoubtedly lost to history. Some pines are fire climax pines and need fire to release the seeds from the pine cones. Some biomes need fire to clear underbrush to allow seedlings to gain a foothold. See the link to read more about the role of fire in a Sequoia forest.

Which adaptation is likely to help prairie trees withstand a fire?

Prairie trees can withstand fires by developing thick bark that insulates the inner tissue from heat, possessing deep root systems that can access water sources during and after the fire, and having the ability to resprout quickly after a fire through specialized buds on the trunk or roots. These adaptations help prairie trees survive and even thrive in fire-prone environments.

How are evergreen trees adapted to cold climate?

The shape of the tree helps the tree to shed snow. The leaves are needle-shaped and waxy so that they do not lose water from winter drying. The leaves are evergreen so that they can carry on photosynthesis whenever possible during the year... Even when the trees are on fire


Why do grasslands have few trees?

Grasslands do not have many large trees for multiple reasons first of all there is a low moisture level in grasslands for trees to grow, but if a river or stream runs through a grassland trees may grow around it. Also there are no warm times in grasslands it goes from hot right to cold, there is little to no time where trees can grow in a warm climate there. Another reason is that grazing of animals prevents trees and shrubs to grow because they are either trampled or eaten by the animals grazing there. One more way is that if a grassland has a fire it will burn the trees that grew and kill and trees that are trying to sprout.

What does the fire do to assist the trees to reproduce?

It forces the seeds (such as pinecones) to open so they will be allowed to germinate. The heat activates them to open because the seed thinks it is warm enough to let the seeds germinate. And let the plant reproduce.

What are trees that have very thick bark and are only scared by fire?

Trees with very thick bark that are primarily adapted to survive fire are known as fire-resistant or fire-adapted trees. Examples include species like the Giant Sequoia and the Ponderosa Pine, which have thick, insulating bark that protects their vital cambium layer from heat. These trees often benefit from fire as it helps clear underbrush, allowing them to thrive in their ecosystems. Their adaptations enable them to withstand and recover from wildfires, which are a natural part of their habitat.
