surface fire
A surface fire is a type of wildfire that spreads across the surface of the forest or vegetation and mainly burns dead plant materials, such as leaves, twigs, and grasses, lying on the ground. The intensity of a surface fire can vary, affecting vegetation and the soil to different extents. Often, they are beneficial for regenerating the ecosystem by clearing away accumulated dead leaves and branches.

Examples of surface fire in a Sentence
