Scientists who study ecopyrology - the effects of fires in different environments - have found that fires like surface fires are important to the survival of many plants and animals.

L'écologie du feu [...] De nombreux écosystèmes doivent leur évolution au feu et dépendent de lui pour se renouveler. Un site récemment brûlé peut sembler mort, mais bien des formes vivantes y subsistent pour donner naissance à une nouvelle forêt. Le feu provoque les conditions idéales à la croissance et stimule ainsi la régénération.
