Giant Sequoia; North Grove, Kings Canyon National Park;
The Giant Sequoia depend upon fire to live. They like to have plenty of sunlight, water, and mineral-rich soil to grow. Frequent fires keep out competing trees and plants while adding easily digestible minerals to the soil.
The heat of a forest fire opens up the sequoia seeds, which then fall to germinate on hospitable soil.
