Wildfires are an important environmental hazard in many geographical areas. Those areas most prone to wildfires have wet seasons followed by dry seasons. Vegetation that grows and accumulates during the wet season dries out enough during the dry season to burn easily. When lightning hits the ground, it
ignites the dry organic material, and a fire spreads through the area. Actually fires have several effects on the environment. First, burning frees the minerals that are locked in organic matter. The ashes remaining after a fire are rich in otassium, phosphorus, calcium, and other minerals essential for plant growth. Thus, vegetation flourishes following a fire. Second, fire removes plant cover and exposes the soil, which stimulates the germination of seeds requiring bare soil, and encourages the growth of shade-intolerant plants. Third, fire can cause increased soil erosion because it removes plant cover, leaving the soil more vulnerable to wind and water.
45. As one learns from the passage, the reason why a wildfire is followed by vegetation growth is that ----
A) the minerals in the soil, especially potassium, phosphorus, and calcium, are preserved
perfectly
B) soil erosion takes a long time and, therefore, plants have time to grow up
C) plant seeds in the soil are unaffected by the fire and begin to germinate in the wet season
D) the ashes of the burnt organic matter contain many minerals indispensable for plants
E) the area where the fires have taken place becomes suitable for shade-intolerant plants
