Comment:
The alternative scenarios are flawed because they combine forested lands and shrublands. A scientifically sound management plan for the various alternatives, especially regarding prescribed burns, cannot be formulated with these vegetation types treated together. The combining of ecologically different plant communities will lead to erroneous management practices over large parts of the state for carbon sequestration, climate resilience, and wildfire management. The model mix of strategies, while sounding beneficial, cannot be successful unless shrublands are managed in their specific ecological context. CARB should withdraw these scenarios and provide a separate category for shrublands. After scientifically, sound scenarios are recirculated, a focus on conservation and restoration, carbon sequestration, and climate resilience will be appropriate. Thank you for considering my comments.
