Fire is the mechanism by which the forest is continually regenerated, states Hall. Fires consume dead, decaying vegetation accumulating on the forest floor, thereby clearing the way for new growth. Some species, such as the jack pine, even rely on fire to spread their seeds. The jack pine produces seratonous (resin-filled) cones that are very durable. The cones remain dormant until a fire occurs and melts the resin. Then the cones pop open and the seeds fall or blow out. In the Canadian boreal forest, aspen and jack pine are the most important âpioneer speciesâ, observes Hall.
Frequent low-intensity fires in ponderosa pine forest are ânatural,â but so are infrequent stand-replacing fires in spruce-fir forestsâthe sort of fires that observers often label âcatastrophic.â Clearly forest managers, and anyone interested in forest issues, need to treat these different forest types differently.
