  • The most common misconception of wildfire is that all fire is bad. But there are important benefits that smaller and more frequent fires offer to the environment. Matt Jolly, an ecologist at the U.S. Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station, talks about the natural and important role of fire in maintaining a healthy ecosystem.

    Thanks for sharing! Some of the strangest looks I get are when I tell people why wildfires can be really good for forests, and that we've become exceedingly effective at fighting wildfire.

      Yeah, it's ok to let a wildifre do it's thing, we only need intervene when the fire becomes particularly intense and or threatens human life and property.

      Um yeah ,along with native species. Fire is the chemotherapy of the forest. It destroys everything.

    logging is much less destructive, produces health in the forest, and doesn't kill huge amounts of wildlife.

    Undergrowth does not need to be cleared by fire. It rots quickly. He also never says how fire benefits the ecosystem. It’s one man’s erroneous opinion.

      Yah no. In a drought the undergrowth dries up, not rots.

      Guess you didn’t watch the video clearly. He explains plenty, for example, about releasing seeds from pinecones. Burning underbrush has been long understood as beneficial. Even native Americans performed prescribed burns.

      He literally explained why it's important to an ecosystem. Watch it again. You may need to watch it a dozen times.
