In the past, sometimes Aboriginal Albertans would purposely set prairie fires in the spring in a type of “controlled burn” in order to begin a secondary succession. Explain why this was done, and why this practice is no longer done. 2.) One of the first species to colonize burned forest is fireweed, a plant that makes a tall stalk of fushia-coloured flowers.

An abundance of fern spores from several species was found above the K-Pg boundary, but none was found below. An abundance of fern spores was found both above and below the K-Pg boundary, but only one species was found below the boundary , and many species were found above the boundary. Many species of fern spores were found both above and below the boundary, but the total number of spores was greater below the boundary.arrow_forward
