by promoting regeneration and reducing competition among plant species
Intentional controlled burns can help prevent larger, more destructive wildfires by reducing fuel buildup
Uncontrolled wildfires can cause significant damage to wildlife habitats and displaces many species
Smoke from wildfires can have negative impacts on air quality and human health
Wildfires can also release large amounts of carbon dioxide, contributing to climate change
Efforts to prevent and manage wildfires include education, firefighting resources, and implementing fire-resistant building practices.
At a low intensity, flames can clean up debris and underbrush on the forest floor, add nutrients to the soil, and up space to let the sunlight through to the ground
High temperatures and low rainfall turn plants into the perfect fuel for wildfires
Wildfires that burn near communities can become dangerous if they grow out of control
Wildfires that burn near communities can become dangerous if they grow out of control
Climate change has left some ecosystems more susceptible to wildfires
Wildfires play an important part in maintaining healthy ecosystems
