Wildfires could eliminate invasive species from the ecosystem. This ultimately reduces competition between organisms. Besides that, though, they’re pretty harmful and lead to higher atmospheric CO2 levels.

Answer:

Fires often remove alien plants that compete with native species for nutrients and space, and remove undergrowth, which allows sunlight to reach the forest floor, thereby supporting the growth of native species
