Making it easier for managers to restore and enhance hydrologic function on the landscape in the face of the wildfire crisis. Otherwise nightscape photos, woodworking, biking. Located in RhodeSkyland, working on western landscapes. Banner: TheAwkwardYeti
Identifying that variability across the landscape is one of the most exciting parts of the approach. Those results will enable place-based management recommendations.

That’s something we’re working to figure out now! This study focused on one treatment type to show the benefits and prove out the approach. Next step is to see which treatments preserve forest stability/growth & increase water use efficiency. We expect the answer to change across the landscape.

Even without something like synthetic lidar this approach might be one path to parse out differences between records and on-the-ground implementation. With multiple ecologically-relevant metrics over the same treatment it should be possible to do some differentiation

Prompt: How do we solve climate change?

SuperAGI: Stop burning fossil fuels and rapidly deploy renewables while electrifying everything. Then deploy CDR technology powered by the new clean grid.

Prompt: But the fossil fuel lobby controls all of our governments.

SuperAGI: Sorry to hear that.

While I understand @gwandaii.bsky.social’s point that the Arctic context of wildfire’s cultural impacts is unique, there are analogues in the southern Sierra Nevada. As fire colleagues here point out, values at risk go beyond structures. Let’s also protect springs, food, and plant materials.
