       "Learning to Live with Wildfires" (Fire, a natural and essential part of California's ecosystem) Plant and tree species pictured below.           http://www.fire.ca.gov/communications/downloads/fact_sheets/live_w_fire.pdf 
     
     Ceanothus americanus (pictured below) has leaves covered with flammable resins that help fuel a fire. 
     This adaptation benefits the species because ceanothus seeds require intense heat for germination.
    “Fire-resistant” roots also enable the plant to resprout quickly in recently burned areas.
     
     
     
     Knobcone pine (pictured below) have seed cones that require the heat of a fire to open. The seeds are protected from fire behind tightly closed resin-coated scales, often so well  insulated that even when the outer part of the cone is charred, the seeds inside are protected. High temperatures cause the cone to open, releasing the seeds that fall to the ground into a cool bed of ash and mineral soil.
