Natural Forest Fires: Despite their humid nature, generally when forest burns in smaller fires, ground vegetation, shrubbery, saplings, and smaller trees are remove, while the larger canopy species are spared. The fire has the effect of clearing the forest floor and weaker trees, thus allowing new growth. This is an example of a positive and negative effect at the same time!
Droughts: They affect forests by weakening the system to the point where it is more allowing to other events like fire and disease. Drought is often partially created by human activities like deforestation.
