Subject: Forests vs shrublands
Comment:
I strongly object to the merger of conifer forests and shrublands
into a single category. 

Our Southern California chaparral should not be victim to
prescribed burns, as the result will be more invasive grasses and
significantly damaged ecosystems. In fact, the Southern portions of
the state have had too many fires and what we need instead is
restoration of oak woodlands and sage scrub--not more fire. 

CARB should withdraw its fatally flawed scenarios, provide a
separate category for shrublands, and consult with recognized
outside experts on appropriate management strategies. 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.
