• It provides necessary nutrients.

What event causes the giant rubber tree to release its seeds?

• A forest fire

• Animal activity

• Strong winds

• Heavy rainfall

How does a forest fire help seeds to germinate?

• By providing nutrients

• By increasing soil moisture

• By attracting pollinators

• By clearing the brush

What is the main benefit for seeds after a forest fire?
