Sequoia forest after a medium intensity fire, illustration
Sequoia forest after a medium intensity fire, illustration. The giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) is native to the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, USA. The thick bark makes the tree resistant to the recurrent forest fires of the region, which trigger the release of seeds from the sequoia cones. However, the increase in fire intensity in the 21st century has lead to more sequoia's being killed in forest fires and their cones being incinerated. Shown is the result of a medium intensity fire, which sees a 28 per cent mortality rate for vegetation, with most of the sequoias surviving. Before 2015 this would have been considered a severe fire. A sequoia seedling is seen at bottom right. For a sequence of images showing the varying outcome of sequoia forest fires see C059/9892-9895.
