Some are working on the principal that a very cool early season burn isn't too bad for riverine forest (and I'm sure it's much better than a hot late-season fire), so do early burns in recovering forest and hope for the best. I doubt this is enough on it's own. My guess is that fire supression (by burning strips nearby to create fire breaks) is going to work - once you get a thorny patch developing, which will only take a couple of years, the new riverine forest will come through in time. If there's a massive fuel build up in year two or three, try a cool burn, but I suspect if you've got healthy populations of grazers you'll probably be OK - they like riverine areas (particularly buffalo) and will probably help suppress the fire. I'm game to try a few experiments anywhere anyone's got the management options!<br /><br />Cweavers&whatnothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04271558799390216825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109690335759612294.post-57454522162800455952011-07-10T23:30:58.878-07:002011-07-10T23:30:58.878-07:00Cool post.
