A) it is the picea engelmanni which have the low fire resistance as well as it have the high tolerance to the shade and which is the condition for the establishment of the following situation which is asked in the above problem. the region is due to the fact that due to it low fire resistance it will suffer the situation of fire very uncertainly and due to which the rate of mass spread is increase and hence as a result reproductio is low which lead to the least likely yo establish the following fire.
yes i think it would be promote to other species as well. it is because to the fact that as a tree is a source of energy for the many other species. they may depend on it in terms of habitat as well as food and shelter. if the tree is targeted the same then other species will be inderectly taken in the account of the desructions. so it is establish for the other species as well.
