How much disaster have the Australian fires brought to the Australian people?

The frequent occurrence of wildfires in Australia is mainly due to hot weather. November in Australia is the local summer. As Australia enters autumn, the temperature and precipitation are falling in various places, which has alleviated the disaster. Otherwise, the Australian government's firefighters would not be able to completely put out the fires just by stopping the fires.

The main damage caused by this disaster was in agriculture, tourism and ecology, causing a total loss of about 5 billion Australian dollars. Many tourists left Australia one after another, and some people who were planning to come to Australia looked at the fire. The spread also gave up, buildings were burned and trade suffered. Because Australia has a lot of forest cover along the coast, which plays a huge role in mitigating the greenhouse effect. In addition, Australia is extremely rich in species, with about 12,000 species of plants, and most of the animals include kangaroos, koalas, emus, and platypuses. All are distributed in Australia, and some are endemic species. Wildfires not only hit the economy but also cause damage to biodiversity. An estimated 11.2 million hectares of forest have been burned, killing more than 1 billion wild animals and possibly causing the extinction of some species.

After the Australian wildfires, there was such a hazard from plants, and that was eucalyptus. The eucalyptus tree is very "tall". When a fire occurs, because the leaves are distributed relatively high and the lower part is the trunk, even after being burned, the dead wood can still be reborn, and the survival rate is much higher than that of other plants. As the national tree of Australia, eucalyptus trees are widely distributed in southern Australia. The worst thing about this tree is that it grows too fast. We know the natural principle of natural selection and survival of the fittest. Other trees and herbaceous plants compete with it. Relationship, after a fire, eucalyptus trees can occupy a larger territory, squeezing the living space of other species, forming a "rebirth from the ashes" situation. Many jungles are almost entirely eucalyptus trees, which grow faster than grass, so it Also known as the "Overlord Tree". In many places in our country, planting eucalyptus trees is not allowed, and the tree itself is also toxic. Australia has fallen into an endless cycle of fires getting bigger, more eucalyptus trees, and then the next fire gets bigger.
