Eyes on Earth Episode 124 - Mapping Fires in Utah

[@b_uppy]

You need to manage ground level vegetation with a mix of grazers, being careful to avoid overgrazing. The mix of grazers gets rid of the excess green material (that can turn to brown material) likely to allow a fire to burn hot and spread to the canopy. This mix could include wildlife, or a mix of cattle, sheep and goats. It's important that they avoid overgrazing, where graze is eaten to below seven inches. Grazing too much dries out soil (and duff) and this causes plants to become tinder dry. Mycelium in the duff must be maintained by adequately shading soil. Mycelium moves water and nutrients breaking down ths duff layer while feeding the soil biome and adding soil moisture permeability, too. Adding some onsite rainwater earthworks in key areas can reduce mudslides, encourage wildlife and grazers to visit an area and reduce excess material and reduce fire danger/damage. We need to update how we manage forests. Using wildfire is a lazy, low return, downriggt damaging way of preventing bigger burns...
