Question

Imagine that a forest fire has occurred around the area that you live. State type of landscape you are looking at (yes make it specific to your region). Explain what the landscape would look like in A) 1 year, B) 5 years, C) 10 years, D) 30 years, E) 60 years, and F) 120 years. Be sure to describe animal and plant diversity, the succession stages, and justify why you think it would look this way.

Answer 1

   Suppose living in savannah type of forest on a mountain landscape and when fire broke out in this region. The fire will cause much damage to ecosystem with the more number of grasses and less number of trees in savannah type of forest the fire will damage most of the vegetation and it will also shows its impact on the presence of animal varieties. The animals will be force to migrate due to unavailable of water and food source. After fire majority of big trees will com under the fire and will be fallen the landscape will barren with no grasses an d trees. There with no major vegetation after fire. After 1 year of fire the vegetation grows pretty well the grasses will grow and new trees will start to grow and will attain a certain height will the vegetation some of the animals will be seen but no major biodiversity is observed.After 5 years of fire the landscape will be mostly covered with green surface and majority of growing tress with savannah type of forest and will have considerable amounts of animals living or frequently visited to these place. After 10 years the forest will be grown up to 50% of original cover and will some native animals living in there and moss of biodiversity is seen with different animals and plants. After 30 years most of the forest biomass gets accumulates and more of the animals wil be migrated which supports varied ecosystem and living conditions. After 60 years most of the landscape will covered with the forest cover and almost all the landscape will be covered with green plants and trees. With more and more animals and biodiversity after 20yeras it cannot support wide variety of animals and plant with limited sources and forest slowly starts to decreases in number of biodiversity animals and species.
