Forest Thinning Does Little to Stop Wildfires
(Aozotorp) writes: Seems the problem is in Historically removing the large fire resistant trees in clear-cutting. I remember large sections in the Colorado front range that were clearcut in the 50's and 60's. Then in the clearcut there were 300-400 + small trees growing in the clearcut areas. Never thinned out no doubt. The shallow analysis you gave is indeed the wave of the future! A shallow analysis is the best you can do unless you specifically target a site and work up a management plan. Any generalization about forest management is, by necessity, vague and inaccurate. There were millions of acres of overcrowded and dead forests in the west long before the first logger's axe appeared. I thought the Indians kept it well burned??????? |

A hot fire is very similar to a clear cut in its effects. You get a very similar colonization of thick underbrush and dense reprod a few years down the road. -- http://home.teleport.com/~larryc |
