Yellowstone Park has been ravaged by several large wildfires over the past years. When you drive through the park you can see the trees that were downed by the fires but you can also see the regrowth of the trees. If you look closely and click to enlarge this photo, you can see the downed trees on the mountainside and the new growth with trees all the same size. When the forest matures, the older trees die out and the newer trees grow to fill in the gaps and the trees are irregular in height.
