BioDiT Citrus: Exhibit 22: Fire Ecology in Florida

EXHIBIT 22

Wildfire is viewed as a threat from a human perspective because of its threat to life and property.  In wildlands, however, fire is an essential part of many ecosystems.  Many plants are fire-adapted, and the seeds of some plants are incapable of germinating until after exposure to fire.  Once open, this exhibit will help you to better understand the role that fire plays in shaping Florida's ecosystems.
