Do more trees equal more forrest fires? What, if anything, can be done to prevent mass fires down the road as we plant more trees? Should we be promoting controlled burns or thinning out of forests?
- tomrod 4y agoTypically letting fires burn is the best way to prevent future large forest fires.
- dexwiz 4y agoDon't plant eucalyptus trees. California is full of eucalyptus imported from Australia. They are oil soaked trees that drop a large amount of debris, both in the form of twiggy branches and the bark the peals off. This is great fire fuel and is in part the reason behind California's wild fires. Obviously they aren't the sole reason, but selecting proper trees can go a long way in managing fire risk. https://firesafemarin.org/plant/eucalyptus https://firesafemarin.org/plant/eucalyptus https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/eucalyptus/eucalyptus-fire-hazards.htm https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/eucalyptus...
