Post-wildfire forest management includes salvage logging that can recover monetary value, reduce re-burn risk, and increase planting safety. Given decline in local wood product markets, the biomass is slash pile burned. Wood harvest and storage (WHS) is an alternative where carbon (charred wood) is durably sequestered in low permeability soils.
Learning Objectives:
define wood harvest for storage
understand wood harvest and storage related carbon dioxide removal credits
understand the considerations (pros and cons) of post-wildfire salvage logging
