Fig. 1 shows a savanna reserve in Kenya at the end of the dry season. The figure includes tall dry grass, scattered acacia trees, grazing zebras, a controlled fire line and an area of new shoots after an earlier burn. Reserve staff use planned fires in selected sections, but they avoid burning every area in the same year. This is part of a study into maintaining a varied habitat.

(a) Which benefit of controlled burning is shown by the new shoots in Fig. 1? [2]

Answer Details

(a) Fire removes old dry vegetation and can stimulate fresh grass growth [1]; the new shoots provide nutritious food for grazers/increase habitat variety [1].
