The context clues that help me understand the word "vegetation" come from the phrases "burns in wildland vegetation" and the examples that follow, like "forests, grasslands, and savannas." From this, I can tell that vegetation refers to the plants and trees in those areas that can catch fire in a wildfire.
A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns in wildland vegetation, often in rural areas. Wildfires can burn in forests, grasslands, savannas, and other ecosystems and have been doing so for hundreds of millions of years. They are not limited to a particular continent or environment. In 2-3 sentences, explain which context clues help you identify the meaning of the word vegetation in the first sentence. (make it like a 7th grader wrote it)
