Instructions

Select initial % of patches that are trees (green). initial % of patches that regrow trees initial % patches that are fire (orange) % flammability (likelihood exposed tree burns) Click flag. See how negative feedback can limit spread.

Description

Added pie chart (% patches with trees, % fire) to my old: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/873289395/ published July 2023. Simulates fire spreading and how to limit that fire. There's negative feedback: the more trees that fire burns down (leaving brown dirt), the less able fire is to spread. Of course the simulation is very limited but hopefully could stimulate thinking about how to limit fire spread. Imagine other aspects of limiting fire spread that you could model. I did the same in python, except without sliders: https://trinket.io/pygame/4d46272765 (takes a few seconds to load and start)
