Evaluating the potential of forest fuel treatments to reduce future wildfire emissions
Year: 2026
BackgroundEffective forest fuel reduction treatments reduce hazardous fuel conditions, wildfire behavior and severity. It has been suggested and partially quantitatively analyzed that these treatments may also reduce future wildfire emissions, but this potential is debated. We apply a previously published, encompassing modeling approach to assess the potential of forest fuel reduction treatments to reduce future wildfire emissions.AimsEvaluate the effectiveness of four fuel treatment types at reducing future wildfire greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across a…
