With all these fires on the west coast of the US, I was wondering what happens to the area that is affected by these fires. Is it just a wasteland of burned trees for years until stuff grows back? Are there just massive swatches of land all across California that are just dead from these things?

There is future growth from a burn like this. Can see it in most places that have had big fires.
