Subject: UC researchers omit key evidence in study on massive tree cutting in Sierra forests
Comment:
To Whom It May Concern, I'm not qualified to perform a peer-to-peer review of Dr. North's et.al. "Operational resilience in western US frequent-fire forests" - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378112721010975?dgcid=author#f0005. However Dr. Hanson (UC researchers omit key evidence in study on massive tree cutting in Sierra forests BY CHAD HANSON FEBRUARY 15, 2022 12:35 PM - https://www.fresnobee.com/opinion/readers-opinion/article258425303.html#storylink=cpy ) seems to be qualified to peer review Dr. North's work. My concern is that CARB may be using Dr. North's work in developing the scoping plan. Please read Dr. Hanson's piece in the Fresno Bee and possibly his book "Smokescreen: Debunking Wildfire Myths to Save Our Forests and Our Climate". I haven't read the book. I can't say my suggestion for managing undergrowth "forest waste" (feeding the undergrowth into a wood chipper [2018 SERIES (18 IN.) DISK CHIPPERS - https://www.stumpcutters.com/wood-chippers/2018-series-18-disk-chippers/], turn the wood chips into compost using biomass generators, turn the methane captured from the biomass generators into hydrogen and solid carbon, then sell the compost, hydrogen and carbon) is any better. Some compost could also be put back on the forest floor where it would have been if everything had gone through the natural cycle.
