Why does forest fire make some seeds germinate better?

fires are quite frequent naturally and generate large open spaces ideal for the germination and growth of many Mediterranean plants (lots of light, little competition, and high availability of nutrients). As a result, many of these species have evolved to optimise germination just after the fire. In order to synchronize germination with the time of the fire, the plants accumulate their seeds in the soil (soil seed bank) and the high temperatures or the presence of fire itself acts as a trigger for germination.

Fire activated seeds. Perhaps the most amazing fire adaptation is that some species actually requires fire for their seeds to germinate.
EXAMPLE => Eucalyptus etc.
