Betula alleghaniensis is a medium-sized, typically single-stemmed, deciduous tree reaching 60–80 feet (18–24 m) tall (exceptionally to 100 ft (30 m)) [ 2][ 7] with a trunk typically 2–3 ft (0.61–0.91 m) in diameter, making it the largest North American species of birch. [ 2][ 8] Yellow birch is long-lived, typically 150 years and some ...
The Mangum Fire burned more than 70,000 acres (280 km 2) of forest. A wildfire, forest fire, or a bushfire is an unplanned, uncontrolled and unpredictable fire in an area of combustible vegetation. [ 1][ 2] Depending on the type of vegetation present, a wildfire may be more specifically identified as a bushfire ( in Australia ), desert fire ...

[ 9] Within forests, it often grows with a single trunk but when grown as a landscape tree it may develop multiple trunks or branch close to the ground.
The prevalence of fire-adaptive morphologic and reproductive characteristics of many boreal plant species is further evidence pointing to a long and intimate association with fire. Seven of the ten most common trees in the boreal forest—jack pine, lodgepole pine, aspen, balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera), paper birch, tamarack, black spruce ...
Fire ecology is a scientific discipline concerned with the effects of fire on natural ecosystems. [ 1] Many ecosystems, particularly prairie, savanna, chaparral and coniferous forests, have evolved with fire as an essential contributor to habitat vitality and renewal. [ 2] Many plant species in fire-affected environments use fire to germinate ...
