Reducing the risk of losses from wildfires that threaten homes and communities is a growing priority in Canada. To reduce risk, "FireSmart" standards have been adopted nationwide for managing forest fuel. However, these standards largely disregard interests of wildlife and conserv...
USA. While thinning may not always be necessary, reductions in tree densities resulting from mesophication may not occur with fire alone. Changes in response to thinning and burning will be dependent on the starting condition of the natural community which includes...
and we’re taking a huge local lens on that. We did a lot of research, and it was really interesting because we found the most trusted media in Canada isn’t social media. It’s local news … And the reason for that is because it matters to people. It matters what happens in their...
and severe wildfires (Dennison et al.2014), invasions by exotic species (Hellmann et al.2008), changing climate conditions (Brice et al.2020), and ongoing habitat loss and degradation (Cardinale et al.2012, Loreau et al.2022). Public land managers in the U.S. are required by bedrock env...
Super productive factories of the future could employ fleets of genetically engineered bacterial cells, such as common E. coli, to produce valuable chemical commodities in an environmentally friendly way. By leveraging their natural metabolic processes,
SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) – As another stressful week wraps up, in what has been an extremely challenging last couple of years for many, KRON4 is taking a moment to talk about mental health. The tragedy in Uvalde, TX can be traumatic, even for people who are
Fire prevention and suppression approaches that exclusively rely on silvicultural measures and containment infrastructure have become increasingly ineffective in stopping the spread of wildfires. As agroforestry landscape mosaics consisting of a mix of different land cover and use types are considered less ...
1.1.2. “Big Three”: US, Canada, Australia The United States tends to rely on bilateral agreements mainly with Canada and Australia/New Zealand, although Mexico has sent an increasing number of resources in recent years. These resource sharing arrangements were set up between 1998 and 2000 [...
Impacts of climate change, such as wildfires, are further contributing to global forest degradation [21]. In the last 25 years, 129 million hectares of forest area were lost globally, resulting in a reduction of global carbon stock by 17.4 Gt [22]. It is predicted that the current global ...
Some MAL in Europe may benefit from low/moderate levels of management instead of being fully abandoned, since agricultural maintenance can prevent landslides, wildfires, or erosion [112]. In environments where natural resources and technology are abundant, agricultural production (including MALLIS) may...
