Perché la foresta è già malata. Una monocoltura brucia più facilmente di una foresta mista, e una foresta che viene tagliata brucia più facilmente di una che viene gestita correttamente. Senza abbastanza predatori o erbivori, la foresta può anche essere definita malata. La stessa cosa se non ci sono abbastanza uccelli.

In actuality one tree can become a forest.

And # 8 actually can snuff out wildfires:

8. ASPEN TREE

“Let's take a moment to talk about how awesome ASPEN TREES are!

Did you know that they can actually stop wildfiresfrom spreading? They have a higher water content and provide a lot of shade which allows for there to be cooler underbrush.

Unlike pine, they also do not have chemical compounds that make them more flammable. When aspen are able to flourish in the forest they create natural fuel breaks. That is, they create barriers to stop a fire from spreading.

During wildfires, if firefighters see that the fire is approaching a community but there is one of these aspen barriers in between they can set up nearby to try to put out the fire. And after a fire they still thrive! Isn't that so cool? That's why Aspen is one of the tree species we're planting in British Columbia to mitigate the spread of wildfires.”

Here are a couple more fighting trees all are in the 15 Amazing Trees link.

#15: “Oddly enough, Ponderosas need forest fires to survive because they keep more shade-tolerant trees from taking over their habitat.”

#11: “Aside from how massive they are, sequoias are very tough too. They are able to resist fungal rot, wood-boring beetles, and their thick bark is perfect for warding off fire.”

It’s true matches can start wildfires, so can lightening, campfires, fireworks at gender reveal parties, or elsewhere, smoking paraphernalia, etc.
