Congrats to the winner of the photo quiz, Mr. Doug Havard from Palmer, Alaska. Yes, the greener side was the side that was obliterated by wildfire, only to be renewed by the nutrients released thereby. Sometimes fire is beneficial to improving the soil sometimes it is not, depends on the duration of burn and the types of nutrients created in the process. The U.S. Geological Survey website has some great information on the subject of the effects of wildfire.
