I usually avoid surveys like the plague, but this is one about something we need to figure out. The environmental costs of scientific meetings need to be substantially reduced.
Things that will cause me to retire early: 1. Having to interact with the university curriculum committee
Thanks for doing this! More people for me to follow.
Our new paper - Managing fire‐prone forests in a time of decreasing carbon carrying capacity. We propose some ways to manage the increase in dead wood that is building up from widespread tree mortality. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Kevin Willson’s new paper shows that trees growing in a fire maintained forest had consistent post fire growth recovery, even as conditions became more arid. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Managing fire ignitions for resource benefit decreases fuel loads and reduces the risk of high-severity fire in fire-suppressed dry conifer forests. H…
Check out our new paper published in Fire Ecology describing how intentional human-ignited fire can "untrammel" the wilderness and help restore natural conditions. 🧪🌏🔥 #wildfire#PrescribedFire
Historical and contemporary policies and practices, including the suppression of lightning-ignited fires and the removal of intentional fires ignited by Indigenous peoples, have resulted in over a cen...
Oh the irony. Alice Cooper schools out > brick in the wall > schools out and it’s the first week of class
Here is a new paper looking at the cost effectiveness of fuel treatments such as thinning and prescribed burning in forests. Key finding: every dollar invested in forest restoration can provide up to seven dollars of return in the form of benefits. 🧪🔥
Arid forests in the American West contend with overly dense stands and a need to reduce fuels and restore more natural fire regimes. Forest restoratio…
