Future Wildland Fire: Land Management and Climate Change
PRESENTED BY DR. MARK COCHRANE, UMCES appalachian laboratory
Every year we seem to hear of more and more catastrophic wildfires burning here and abroad. The trend is real but the predicament that we face with future wildland fires is the result of both earlier land management actions and the growing influence of climate change. To adapt to changing conditions and mitigate the threats posed by future wildfires, a paradigm shift is needed in how societies view and manage wildfire.
