Forest_Fires

Forest Fires Forest Fires Forest fires have been around since the dawn of time. Ever since the first fire nature has evolved to handle it. Forrest fires have changed the landscape of America over the ages, but the forests still stand tall all over the US. So how can a person say that a forest is bad for the environment' Throughout this essay I hope to show that forest fires are not entirely bad. In fact they are a crucial part of life. The ecological role of fires in nature is a vital part of life for some trees. One example of this is the pine trees witch has cones. When heat is present, the cones open up and release seeds. If there is no heat applied to the cone, the cone will not open up therefore the seeds remain inside. In Northern California there are large sequoias that need forests fires to help with the next generation of trees. Without fires to burn out the underbrush, the baby sequoias will not get the sun light they need to grow. This is yet another example of how fires aid nature.
