Answer 1

The context clues that help identify the meaning of the word "vegetation" in the first sentence are the reference to "wildland" and the different ecosystems where wildfires can burn, namely "forests, grasslands, savanna's, and other ecosystems." These references to natural environments imply that vegetation encompasses the various plants, trees, and grasses found in these areas. Additionally, "vegetation" is what is being burned by the wildfire, further suggesting it is some form of plant life.
