Why are young forests more flammable than old trees?
a. Young trees have less dense canopies, allowing more sunlight to reach the forest floor and dry out vegetation.
b. Old trees have thicker bark, which can offer protection from fire.
c. Young trees have less developed root systems, making them more vulnerable to drought and therefore more flammable.
d. Old trees tend to have accumulated more moisture, making them less prone to catching fire.
