Most forest fires and wildfires are natural. They clear away debris, old brush, and dying trees, leaving heartier trees better able to grow. In fact, some trees only produce seeds when heated by fire. If a wildfire removes thick shrubs and undergrowth, the water supply increases, which helps other plants and local animals. Fire may also kill predatory insects or pests that live on and damage otherwise healthy trees.

In two sentences, identify the main idea and at least one supporting detail of this paragraph.

i said: The main idea of this paragraph is how forest fires and wildfires have good aspects to them, like how they leave some other trees better able to grow.

please check my answer or help me figure out what the main idea is

This is my answer but make sure to put it in your own words! ^^

The main idea of this passage is that sometimes wildfires and forest fires bring advantages to forest life instead of disadvantages. A supporting detail shows that because in the passage, it says "If a wildfire removes thick shrubs and undergrowth, the water supply increases, which helps other animals in plants" which shows that wildfires can help produce water for plants and animals instead of decreasing it.

I hope this helped anyone in the future!! ^^
