1. Acacia is a plant, how come it came in zoology. Anyway, some of the general responses of Acacias to fire would depend on the severity of fire and the season fire occurred. The magnitudes of effects vary among the different species. Extensive fire could possibly affect the survival of the tree but most commonly those with deeply buried buds will be resilient and will be able to resprout growing up into a new tree. In general, it is said that resprouting acacias in grasslands of central Australia are highly resilient to a range of fire regimes. Acacia are mostly resprouters.
