Explanation:

Deciduous forests are affected by wildfires. Wildfires can change the forest environment, and even infrequent wildfires (less than once every five years) can impact the quantity of trees, among other things. Lichen and moss growth can increase after a wildfire, and the nutritional quality of new growth can also be affected.

A. Deciduous forests are unaffected by wildfires.
