And probably messes up the forest lifecycle. They discovered that one some years back in California -- some of the trees out there had evolved to the point that they needed wildfires to reproduce. The first both cleared out low growth to provide open ground for new seedlings, and the trees themselves had cones or other seed containers that wouldn't open without the heat of a fire hitting them first. So now they do annual controlled burns to keep the ecosystem running properly.
