Controlled burning has the advantage of inducing re-growth of pasture grasses. This is because burning can remove dead and woody vegetation, which can accumulate over time and inhibit the growth of new grasses. By removing this vegetation, controlled burning can create open space and allow sunlight to reach the soil, promoting the growth of new grasses. In addition, burning can also stimulate the release of nutrients from the ash, which can further enhance grass growth. While controlled burning can have other benefits, such as improving soil structure and increasing the number of soil organisms, inducing re-growth of pasture grasses is one of its primary advantages and is often the reason why it is used in agriculture and rangeland management.
