Also the trees braches are really high up so that most fires can't reach them. They also need fire to start growing because the seeds are covered with resine so when the fire comes along it melts the resine and the tree and start growing without anything that can compete with it.]]> 2021-09-16 17:46:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mwheeler36/u2gd3nl8p7aleerj/wish/1746664242 Americans have been putting out fires to prevent damage of property and loss of life sense 1900. https://padlet.com/mwheeler36/u2gd3nl8p7aleerj/wish/1748970845 2021-09-17 15:15:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mwheeler36/u2gd3nl8p7aleerj/wish/1748970845 why the fires can help the forests. https://padlet.com/mwheeler36/u2gd3nl8p7aleerj/wish/1748987137 the fire will maintain this unuque forest. on forest had been prescribed burnt and the other overgrown one, the open space will attract more wild life and will help out the ecosystem. the overgrown one has not NEARLY as many animals. the resin can also block the newer trees that need to grow. when you burn down a tree, it will eventualy sprout anew.]]> 2021-09-17 15:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mwheeler36/u2gd3nl8p7aleerj/wish/1748987137 https://padlet.com/mwheeler36/u2gd3nl8p7aleerj/wish/1749072532 trees,grass, blueberry buses, flowers, animals]]> 2021-09-17 15:55:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mwheeler36/u2gd3nl8p7aleerj/wish/1749072532 Why Fire can be important to forest 2023mfraser https://padlet.com/mwheeler36/u2gd3nl8p7aleerj/wish/1749075532 This fire can help trees like Pitch pines by melting the risen covering the seed. So fire can help trees grow. And if a plant can reproduce after a fire, it can evolve to be flammable, so that it can take out its competition with it so its numbers can increase.]]> 2021-09-17 15:57:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mwheeler36/u2gd3nl8p7aleerj/wish/1749075532 Fire removes growing underbrush cleans the forest floor of debris opens it up to sunlight and makes the soil better. Reducing this competition for nutrients allows established trees to grow stronger and healthier.
