I wonder what the success rate would be if trees were replanted in forest that burned.

And to what extent climate change would make the environment no longer suited for trees?

In the US forest fires burn about 7 million acres on average each year.

The Dixie fire alone was about 1 million acres.

San Francisco is 30,000 acres for perspective.
