   Ha ha @ Gruntled!

   On a more serious note, if I am not mistaken (that will be meddium rare), there are some seeds from trees and other plants that require extreme heat in some cases for their seed pods to open up. I’m not saying that this is a good thing, but there have been raging fires before modern man was around, and it all grew back.

   Yea, but if it requires MO Nature to burn herself to the ground before it will reseed, is it really worth it?

   It’s part of a grander scheme in nature. But mass fires over a whole region are not part of that design. I’m pretty certain of it.

   Thanks for the bag!

   @ mcangeli:

   Yes it is. Think that if the fire never happened and the trees died. Then there is nothing to really burn. If this is the case then with out the fire the vegetation that requires such heat to reseed would just vanish.

   Taken from IEPT

   TNC and other agencies and organizations that manage land for biodiversity often use prescribed burns to promote desired vegetation and species. Fire is sometimes necessary to prompt the germination of some plants, including a number of rare and endangered species. On the other hand, fire can also sharply reduce the abundance of some species. The weather, topography, and available fuel will determine the temperature and intensity of the prescribed burn, and this along with the timing of the treatment, largely determine how the burn impacts the vegetation and the abundance of particular species.

   We must have fire like we have air. A good balance would be great. I would think that MO Nature would be able to handle herself after all these years, but humans still fee the need to look up her skirt. Father Time will make sure that MO Nature gets the wood she deserves.

   Oh that was BS… I think that I just lost all of that…let me see if I can remember.

   @ mcangeli

   Yes it is worth it. What would happen if you never had a fire and the seeds needed fire? the trees would all die and rot and there would be nothing to burn to cause the trees to grow again. Some vegetation would just disappear.

   So you see it has to happen. Humans for a long time have been trying to look up MO Nature’s skirt. Father Time will make sure that MO Nature gets all the wood she needs.

   Then they were not meant to survive…. Nature has a plan for everything. In some cases, she has a backup plan as well…

   She’s much smarter than you or I.

   I have no idea why MC’s comments (both of them) are not showing up. If I select to quote them, they display in the text box… maybe they’re too long?
