After the fire, scientists brace for climate change
May 24, 2018/
A century of putting out every forest fire possible has unbalanced forests.
"We don’t have a clear idea which species will win out with climate change," said Jon Keeley, senior research scientist with the U.S. Geological Survey. "Invasives are likely to be favored as the climate warms. That means more flashy fuels, an increase in fire frequency and changes to the types of recovery after fire."
