green palm tree on rocky ground

New leaves growing back on cycad plants after a fire. Some plants can survive and grow back after a fire, and some seeds will germinate and grow well after it rains, with the extra light, and the nutrients from the ash. The germination percentage of seeds of some plants actually increases when they are exposed to smoke from bush fires, particularly in the fire-adapted sclerophyll vegetation of South-western South Africa and South-western Australia.
