UCI Podcast: Solutions That Scale

James Bullock discusses multidisciplinary organization working to counter the impacts of climate change

Study shows how restoring overstocked forests can yield multiple, diverse benefits

Mechanical thinning of California’s forests can reduce the severity of wildfires by eliminating built-up vegetation that fuels blazes. According to researchers at UCI, UC Merced and the UC Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources, scientifically based forest management practices could also curtail CO2 emissions from fires, promote carbon storage in remaining trees, and improve the […]
