  2. Fire management in the red tingle forest of southwest Australia has been a hot topic for a few years now. New research from @natesanderson.bsky.social suggests that the red tingle forest should be managed differently than the nearby Karri forest, to reduce tree mortality.

    [not my usual ‘sort of thing’ to post - as broad as that is - but I found this fascinating; it reminds me, in a sense, of the Incas incrementally selecting corn stock that can handle higher and higher altitudes, in ‘research stations’, although those were a domesticated crop]

  6. Santa Barbara County/Prescribed Burn/June 19-21 (Los Olivos)

    "The Santa Barbara County Fire Department plans to conduct a prescribed burn for traning purposes at the Chamberlin Ranch, near Los Olivos, between June 19-21, 2024, depending on conditions. Prescribed fires typically burn less intensely than wildfires. Prescribed burns help prevent the spread of wildfres and can reduce impacts to watersheds that can result n soil loss and sedimentation. This burn s a Prescribed Fire to achieve training of new Santa Barbara County Fire personnel. Approximately 100 acres of sage scrub and Oak woodland will be burned. "...

    County Habitat Conservation Agency, and Metropolitan Water District, will be conducting a a vegetation management prescribed burn at Lake Mathews.

  10. "It was only about fifty miles away from Vallecitos that two prescribed burns got out of control last year and became the biggest wildfire the state's ever seen. The Hermit's Peak/Calf Canyon fire burned hundreds of homes.
    Resident Timoteo Chacón summed up a lot of people's feelings.
    "The last time that it got away here, obviously, they knew that was a time for a windy time. And they went ahead and did it," he said.

  15. @ai6yr It's amazing how much of a difference regular burning makes.

    Area on left was treated with thinning and regular (almost every year) prescribed fire. Area on right untreated

    Both areas burned in the Dixie fire in 2021, with fire moving from the right side of the image to the left side. The high density ponderosa pines on the right largely died (and not much new growth is happening) while the left side remains very much alive

  19. Apocalyptic vibes and the first magpie swoop of the season. Spring is here. Probably wouldn't have ridden if I knew the smoke would be quite this bad...

  20. This is an extensive look at how "thinning the forest; cleaning up debris on the floor; and burning the debris and ground cover in a controlled way to prevent it from becoming fuel for wildfires" can limit #wildfire intensity in much of western North America, using a single Canadian community as an example. The photo shows an area which had prescribed burns and ones which did not after an uncontrolled fire came through.
