The ecological influence of fire on the structure of a plant community varies, as fire temperature and rate of spread are neither uniform nor consistent. The manner in which a system burns depends not only on ambient temperature, windspeed, and humidity, but also on spatial distribution of fuel loads and structural variation (type, density, and height of plants) within the vegetation
