A diversity of species isn't the only thing that leads to fire prevention, what is also required is a diversity of age in trees. A stand of the same species of tree at the exact same age is vulnerable to everything including forest fires, it is the maximally unstable position to place a forest in.
That further reinforces the complexity of intervention strategies, rather than just spraying glyphosate on everything...
