We investigate the Forest Fire Model in its version proposed by Henley (PRL 1993). Extracting the time series of shares of trees in the system, we investigate the temporal dynamics. For large tree growth probabilities p we find stable regions in which the system reaches a periodic attractor. With decreasing p the period of the attractor increments and for small values the system enters a chaotic regime as found in a Feigenbaum-Diagram. However, this chaotic regime also exhibits (quasi-)periodic fluctuations where the frequency is equal to p. On larger time-scales we observe a random walk behavior (≈ 1/f2 scaling) which approaches white noise (approximately flat spectrum) for very long simulations, but 1/f noise only appears as a transition. The standard deviation of the fluctuations is proportional to p1/2. Our results call for a new view on forest fire dynamics.
