Comment | IT would be a huge mistake to include clear-cut type of timber harvest and the resulting even age tree plantation as a way to offset carbon. Once ground disturbance is introduced into the equation then the picture changes dramatically and there is no way to clear-cut without a whole lot of ground disturbance. Where is the science that backs up using plantations generated from clear=cuts and includes the huge carbon release from soil disturbance? In addition, the snowpack takes an enormous hit from a clear-cut regime and we need the snowpack not only as the most critical part of California's water system, but to generate hydro when we need it the most - hydro being a source of clean energy that Calif. is very fortunate to have available. |
