Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Effect of Forest Fire on Forest Biodiversity Grazing and fire are linked to plant invasions. Gaps created by high-intensity fires are particularly susceptible to invasion by exotic species e.g. Imperata cylindrica quickly recovers after fire and may respond with an increase in cover.
Detailed explanation-2: -Protected forests burn at lower severities We found no evidence to support the prevailing forest/fire management hypothesis that higher levels of forest protections are associated with more severe fires based on the RF and linear mixed-effects modeling approaches.
