Forest fires play an important role in ecosystem renewal by clearing out old vegetation, making way for new growth. The heat from the fire triggers the release of seeds from certain tree species, which then have the opportunity to germinate and grow in the nutrient-rich soil left behind. Additionally, the ash from the fire acts as a natural fertilizer, promoting the growth of new plants. Forest fires also help to control insect populations and reduce competition among plant species, leading to a more diverse and balanced ecosystem over time.
