Yellowstone Natural-Burn Policy
Almost everyone remembers the huge wood fervidness that started in Yellowstone during the summer of 1988. During this fire (which was started do to a very ironical summer and dry storms with lightning) approximately 1/3 of our Nations greatest treasure was lost. wherefore? The Yellowstone park committee had established the let burn policy- both fire started naturally wrong the park would be permitted to burn, unless clement lives or property were threatened. I personally agree with this philosophy of letting the natural fires burn for many reasons. What many quite a little argon oblivious to is the fact that forest fires actually sponsor new growth. They fertilize the soil allowing a more divers(prenominal) collection of plant life to grow.
Forest fires have been occurring naturally for millions of years now and the forest community has learned to adapt to these fires. Also, since these fires are controlled they help prevent future fires. Also, did you complete around plants, such(prenominal) as lodgepole pines, cant reproduce without fire?
When they drop their pinecones the seeds inside cant be released until the high temperature of fire breaks them open. Fires also get exempt of dead and decaying trees and clear litter out of the park. All forest communities follow a process called succession and re-develop after some disturbance. In the end, I think we need to trust the officials, they know a lot more about what is better for Yellowstone than we do.
