Some seeds need to be scorched on the outside.

Scorched? Around 200 deg C?

Nah. More than that. Some seeds from American (Continent, not US)
forests will only germinate after having been through a forest fire.

Clever mechanism to be sure that there will be enough light to sustain
growth.

And Australian ones too. Went to Fraser Island over there and they
regularly do controlled burnings. Looks like it`s still going strong.
Some even need two burns!!!!
