Prescribe fires can also protect people by not being as many fires as there should be. Prescribe fires can also protect the ecosystem by protecting…

The records of bushfires in Australia have been recorded all thought history and is associated with the natural climate changes. Records show that there was an increase of frequency around 38,000 years ago, this is believed to be related to human activity but another spike also occurred in 1788 which is associate with the european settlement in Australia according to Kershaw et al published in 2002.

the dispersing of seeds, the flourishing of flowers, and how they are being replenished by wildfires. Most bees are not actually tree dwellers; some actually prefer to burrow in warm soil. Besides being warm, the best soil must be rich in minerals and have plenty of available space. Which is why wildfires affect them more, they are not in the trees, but rather on the ground. In recent years, after wildfires, studies have conducted to see the impact fires have on the animals living there,…

Wildfires can be used in ways that are good for that ecosystem. The good things that come from setting controlled fires stated on the fire and aviation article are that they reduces hazardous fuels, lessen the spread of pest insects and disease, remove all dead plants so that new plants have a place to grow, improves habitat for threatened and endangered species, and provide nutrients for the soil. Pacific Biodiversity Institute states that scientists report young-growth forests recovering from…

about how the intensity and occurrence of wildfires have increased and how our governments can become better prepared for the future. Climate change is becoming an increasingly dangerous factor as scientists attribute these stronger fires with the effects of climate change. Also, with the high danger that comes along with wildfires, it is pertinent that we examine and analyze all the information we have so we can not only become more prepared for wildfires but also abate the factors and…

Did you know that there are thousands of wildfires in the U.S each year? Many of those wildfires are started by people. Wildfires can have many bad effects on the environment.

California Wildfires: A Burning Problem California, as of recent decades, has a warming relationship with wildfires. The state has seen an increase in wildfires which some believe to be attributed to anthropogenic climate change. Climate change is expected to result in more variable weather patterns that are likely to lead to longer and more severe droughts (“Climate change”, 2016). Generally in late spring through autumn California has a dry, windy, and frequently hot climate. At times…
