Lightning strikes are the most common cause of natural forest fires. Forest fires occur naturally to revitalise the forest ecosystem by burning built-up underbrush and dead growth, as well as fertilising the soil with the resulting ash. Seeds and seedlings have an improved chance of uptake in the post-fire environment than in dense overgrowth.
