A recent study looking at the dynamics of carbon accumulation and loss in forest ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States concluded that young forests accumulate the most carbon before canopy closure and old-growth trees play a minor role in...

Research Concludes Prescribed Burns Can Reduce Smoke Impacts to Communities

Fire

In a study published at the end of 2023, researchers looked at the intricate relationship between forest management practices, wildfire risk, air quality, and public health in fire-prone regions like California. With wildfires increasing in frequency and intensity due...

Study Confirms Roadless Areas More Prone to Wildfire

Fire

A recent study examining wildfire patterns in national forests across the western United States found that while roadless areas experience fewer fire ignitions, they are associated with significantly greater wildfire extent compared to roaded areas. The study focused...

Climate or Forest Management: Which has a Bigger Impact on Fire Behavior and Carbon?

Fire

As we look to the future of forestry - particularly when it comes to the wildfire crisis - one big question looms: does climate change or forest management have a greater impact on fire? In 2022 a group of scientists analyzed and modeled how how various factors, such...
