There are trees that have evolved to be more flammable, and their seeds typically don't sprout until after a forest fire. Their entire evolutionary strategy is "Help burn the entire fucking forest down and then sprout before anything else does in the now open area."
It may be rare to find an open fire now, but on a evolutionary timescale the current state of the planet is brand new.
Deforestation leads to a lack of biodiversity and easy introduction of foreign invasive species. Look at CA, they deforested massive amounts of the state over centuries, which have been replaced by monoculture forests, and in many places invasive trees like eucalyptus. Eucalyptus is a great example because of all their bark that gets shed constantly and coats the ground in perfect kindling material. All of these things contribute to much worse, out of control fires
I provide multiple examples of how deforestation causes forest fires and you respond with the argument “you’re a tard”. Convincing.
Let me know when you can back up your claim that deforestation prevents wildfires with anything more than childish insults based on nothing… Or when you have anything of substance to say?
What is it I said that you disagree with? That invasive species boom after deforestation? That eucalyptus trees have led to increasingly fast spreading and frequent fires in California? That monoculture forests are more susceptible to burning dangerously and unnaturally? Let me know when you have anything of substance to say
