The author reflects on how editorial views of the journal changed over time since the first issue was published in 1902 until the issues in 2011 regarding forest fires. The author mentions an article in 1906 by F. E. Weiss that discusses the importance of fires in vegetation in Natal, South Africa that cites the fire resistant Vellozia plant and the use of fire to control cattle tick infestations. The author adds that after 100 years, fire importance to vegetation is still an interesting topic.
