Slash-and-burn agriculture involves the clearing and burning of vegetation in a certain area of farmland. After 100 years of this agricultural practice, the dominant plant that generally emerges is canopy trees. Canopy trees are typically taller and larger than other vegetation types, providing shade and forming a dense upper layer in the forest. These trees are able to grow and thrive due to the regeneration of the ecosystem and the absence of regular clearing or burning activities.
