Explanation:

Hello,

Fire is beneficial for forests as long as it allows clearing out the clutter. It can break down nutrients and minerals in burning plants and other debris such as old logs, leaves and bast undergrowth then restoring them to the soil, thus turning it into a more fertile area. The increase in available nutrients in the soil after the fire helps to create the perfect condition to boost microbial life in the forest floor as well.

On the other hand, fires are harmful since they can wipe out even an entire forest or wide areas so the vegetation and animal life get no longer present or very difficult to restore in it.
