To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So fires in the forests not only destroy the timber and ground cover, but by burning the litter on the ground cause the water to run off faster after a storm, and this causes erosion. Besides all this, though, you would find in this forest lots of little young trees, some in clumps and some growing alone. So when the fire burns through the forest, it kills many of these young trees, because they are very tender, and this is one thing we are trying to avoid, because after the bigger trees the ol...d ones are cut to make lumber for houses and boxes and all the things that wood is used for, these little trees will 14 keep on growing and in time will make a second forest of big trees on the same land as the first. And now we are ready to look at the big trees of pine and fir and cedar. The first thing we shall see is that some of them have already been burned near the ground, so that part of the bark and wood is gone, and what we call a fire scar has been made on the tree. This is because for centuries there have been fires in the forests, and gradually the wood is burned away at the base of the trees, forming these fire scars.
