Post-fire logging can reduce fuels for up to 40 years in regenerating forests, new study finds

12 marzo 2015

Harvesting fire-killed trees is an effective way to reduce woody fuels for up to four decades following wildfire in dry coniferous forests, a study has found. «Large wildfires can leave behind thousands of acres of fire-killed trees that eventually become fuel for future fires. In the past, post-fire logging has been conducted primarily to recover economic value from those fire-killed trees,» said the study’s leader.
