What else can I help you with?
What is a surface fire?
A forest fire that burns only the surface litter and undergrowth.
Can a bullet ricochet start a forest fire?
No it cannot
Can you put hydrothermal in a sentence?
The hydrothermal of the forest fire went out of control until the fire fighters arrived.
What is the difference between a fire and a wild fire?
A fire is generally one that can be controlled, whereas a wild fire tends to be one that is out of control. This is most likely to be a forest fire, that started as a result of excessive heat and went unnoticed.
Why does water usually put out fire?
Water stops oxygen from getting to the flame, and oxygen is the fire's food.
What is usually a pioneer species after a forest fire A.Cattails B.Pine trees C.Meadow grasses D.Hemlocks E.Maple trees?
Meadow grasses
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 are pioneer species?
A pioneer species is a species that is first to establish itself in an area where nothing is growing-or in an area that has been devastated by fire,flood, plowing etc. These species are usually annuals, disappearing after the second year when perennials take over. In short, pioneers are the earliest plants that settle in an area.
Where does fire usually starts?
a wild fire usually starts in a forest or a tropical forest because all the storms they have or in a kitchen
When a stable forest community is destroyed by fire the community usually is?
When a stable forest community is destroyed by fire, it typically undergoes a process of ecological succession. Initially, pioneer species, such as grasses and certain fast-growing plants, colonize the area, paving the way for more complex plant communities to gradually re-establish. Over time, the forest can return to a similar state as before the fire, although the composition may differ depending on factors like soil conditions and the severity of the fire. This regeneration process can take years to decades, depending on the specific ecosystem and environmental conditions.
After a forest fire destroys a forest what is true of the first species to recolonize the area?
Their seeds may be blown by the wind.
How many firefighters does it usually take to put out a forest fire?
It all depends on the size of the fire but usually hundreds
What is pioneer species?
A pioneer species is a species that is first to establish itself in an area where nothing is growing-or in an area that has been devastated by fire,flood, plowing etc. These species are usually annuals, disappearing after the second year when perennials take over. Pioneer species are species which colonize previously uncolonized land, usually leading to ecological succession. Pioneer species are often grasses such as marram grass, which grows on sand dunes. In more rocky and damp conditions, they are usually lichen, and small ephemeral bunchgrasses and wildflowers in crevices. The plants, or anything that has the system of a plant, to be specially to the extremes that may be experienced, and once they have modified the environment may be out-competed by less specific plants, eventually leading to a climax community.
What are The new plants taking root after the fire are called?
The new plants taking root after a fire are called pioneer species. These are typically the first plants to establish in an area following a disturbance like a fire, and they play a key role in initiating ecological succession. These species are usually fast-growing and well-adapted to colonizing previously uninhabited or barren land.
What type of organisim will be the first to return after a forest fire?
The first organisms to return after a forest fire are typically pioneer species, including certain types of plants like grasses, wildflowers, and some shrubs. These species are adapted to thrive in disturbed environments, where they can quickly establish themselves and stabilize the soil. They play a crucial role in the recovery process by providing food and habitat for wildlife and paving the way for more complex plant communities to develop over time.
How do the woods rebuild after fire?
After a fire, woods begin to rebuild through a process called ecological succession. Initially, pioneer species such as grasses and wildflowers emerge, which help stabilize the soil and improve nutrient availability. Over time, these species are succeeded by shrubs and young trees, eventually leading to the return of mature forest ecosystems. This recovery process can take several years to decades, depending on the severity of the fire and the local environment.
Can forest fire and floods be the reasons for the species to get endangered?
Yes and no. Most species recover from flood and fire. Flood and fire are nature's way of controlling species population, and also of regenerating growth in the forests. However, some species cannot recover from a combination of natural disasters AND human involvement. One of the things that causes species to be endangered is human encroachment. Encroachment means human activities that have negative effects on the make up of the forest zones. Sometimes forest fire and flood are caused by human activities, and these can have negative effects on the species of the forest. Other "encroachment" activities that endanger animals are when human beings go to the forest for fetching woods, cutting lumber, picking off the bark and leaves for local medicine; they hunt in the forest, dig holes, alter the ecological settings of the forest floor, etc. All these activities put together lead to forest fire and flood thereby burning and washing away all the necessary ingredients needed by these species to survive, causing habitat loss and so on.
