That may or may not be true, the understanding of it is changing before our eyes, and with invasives in the mix no one knows for a fact what the best practices will end up being. Disturbance is the goal and understanding how one form of it may work well or fall short can help you make better decisions on how to use another, like selected hack and squirt removal of the species that promote mesophistication.

Point being we should be able to talk about that without hutton spewing some tapatalk back in my day we just knew better without being told bullshite, its every thread he gets in.

You are rude and disrespectful. I however do not act like that in response.

How can you say that? I just quoted an article stating most of the test plots wouldn’t even burn?


Now once the problematic species are reduced by saw and chemicals a fire might do it moving forward, but in my experience the oaks in GTR (my experiences) have extremely thin bark, and are already stressed from the water during the winter. I don’t think going from water stress to fire is a smart move.
Please let me know because I would love to burn if I could
