Morgan, Great job! It can be surprising that going in to burn the forest actually helps the forest! Did you look into how this (and logging) affect the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere?

Great work! I just saw these issues live in the Florida Keys last month- great teams working on controlled burns and better public policy- and also working with photographers to capture the incredible power of nature and the brave and brilliant folks managing and fighting fires. Perhaps your next stop?

Best wishes,

Morgan, excellent paper! Certainly one of the greatest challenges facing land managers is getting the public to buy into the treatment options that mitigate wild fire. Logging, thinning operations and prescribe burns are generally not viewed favorably . Papers that analysis the need for and the opportunity to conduct such mitigation actions are vital to people’s understanding!
Good job!!
