Many of Australia's plants seeds in the soil rely on the chemicals produced by fire to make them start growing. They also need the sunlight from the open canopy. Without the fires that the bush has evolved to regenerate. the more opportunistic often rainforest species take over. the gully species like Pittosporum undulatum are also killed by the fires. Unfortunatly due to the loss of human life in wildfires Australian's are now scared of fires. And don't allow the bushland to burn, as frequently as is necessary. maybe we shouldn't have built our houses all along the tops of the ridglines in a fingers type shape, basically saying hey I'm going to build my house as fire pronely as possible. And then they get scared and go and clear hundreds of meters of bush from around the houses for protections. But it is obvious that really the bush needs protecting from the whacked out human. this was wrote by an Australian by the way. =]
The number of forest fires in Australia can vary greatly depending on the season and weather conditions. On average, there can be several hundred to over a thousand forest fires in Australia each week during peak fire season.
Managing forest fires through controlled burns and fire prevention measures can help prevent damage to ecosystems and communities, reduce the risk of future catastrophic fires, and promote forest regeneration. Neglecting forest fire management can lead to more severe fires, loss of biodiversity, and increased risks to human lives and properties in the future.
Forest fires are helpful in succession by clearing out older vegetation, making way for new growth and allowing for the regeneration of certain plant species that are adapted to fire. Fires can also release nutrients stored in vegetation, which can enrich the soil and promote the growth of new plant life. Additionally, some tree species require heat from fires to promote seed germination.
Forest fires can happen anywhere
Forest fires can benefit wetlands by clearing out dense vegetation and allowing sunlight to reach the forest floor, promoting new growth and diversity. This can create more open space and support the regeneration of wetland ecosystems. Additionally, the ash left behind by the fire can provide important nutrients that help wetland plants thrive.

actually there are a lot. most of the rainforests in Australia are found in Tasmania. Kangaroos live in the forests and also koala bears that are only found in Australia. also in Australia they experience huge bush fires or forest fires.

Oh No Forest Fires was created in 2007.
Oh No Forest Fires ended in 2010.
