Finally had time to read your post, I was really interested, especially since my country just got scorched last summer because of forest fires, I always wondered how plants would regrow after forest fires, I always thought the roots stayed alive and the plant regenerated trough these, now I know it's because of soil seed bank and the stimulus is fire and smoke.

Forest fire moreover, could occur when hunters deliberately set forests on fire to drive out games.

Wait this is legal in Nigeria??

as a forest management tool in order to remove the accumulation of fuel loads that would otherwise lead to damaging wildfires.

Can you explain this part a little better, I think I've never heard about it.

Never thought possible for seeds to survive at that high temperatures, and to actually use the heat and smoke as a stimulus for germination is amazing!
Keep doing these types of posts, I was never much into plants/forest science, but I'm learning so much from you
