Beyond the burn: Harvesting dead wood to reduce wildfires and store carbon
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 01, 2025 Beyond traditional burn methods, forest managers are exploring new ways to mitigate wildfire risks and enhance carbon storage. A new study from Florida Atlantic University investigates how harvesting dead wood without combustion could play a crucial role in wildfire management and climate mitigation. A century of fire suppression, compounded by global warming and drought, has led to more destructive wildfires in the Western United States. Conventional wildfire management strategies, including pres ... read more |
