This Issue: Wildfire Impacts on Soils after Beetle Kill and Some Other Good Things.
WILDFIRE IMPACTS ON SOILS AFTER BEETLE KILL – In August a couple of list members expressed and interest in the impacts of wildfire on soils after beetle kill and logging. Here are some sites that may be of interest. Also see 2014-04-06 NRMI - Bark Beetles and Logging and some other good things.
