But he said trunks should be left on the ground to provide habitat instead of being incinerated or removed. “Once you fell the trees, they’re no longer a hazard,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Summertime fires in California cause less property damage than the fires that are fanned by dry Santa Ana winds in the fall and winter, but they sap more firefighting resources, \u003ca href=\"http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/10/9/094005\">research published last year\u003c/a> showed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were really trying to figure out how fires will change in southern California in the future,” said \u003ca href=\"http://www.faculty.uci.edu/profile.cfm?faculty_id=4971\">James Randerson\u003c/a>, a University of California, Irvine earth scientist who contributed to the study. “What we realized early on is that there are two distinct fire types.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the effects of climate change on Santa Ana winds fires remain riddled with uncertainty, scientists are generally convinced that the parching effects of global warming will lead to bigger, longer and more damaging summertime blazes in California — if they aren’t already doing so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That suggests the intense and early summer fire seasons in this and other recent drought-stricken years may have been less an aberration and more a bellwether of something that CAL FIRE officials frequently describe as a “new normal” for firefighters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With more greenhouse gas pollution piling into the atmosphere daily, continuing to warm the planet toward a 2°F increase from preindustrial times, and with warmer weather exacerbating droughts, mass tree die-offs could become routine features of Western landscapes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only would that eliminate or shrink some forests, driving them northward or uphill toward cooler climates, it could also force increasingly overworked firefighting agencies to juggle the additional routine task of managing dead trees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CAL FIRE is focusing its tree removal efforts in areas where most trees have died and where the dead trees pose the most immediate dangers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re focused on high hazard areas with the greatest threat to life safety and critical infrastructure,” CAL FIRE spokeswoman Janet Upton said. “There are literally hundreds of thousands of acres, and growing, affected by the unprecedented scope and magnitude of tree mortality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.climatecentral.org/\">Climate Central\u003c/a> \u003cem>is an independent organization that researches and reports on climate change.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

CAL FIRE hired hundreds of seasonal workers early this year to help remove dead trees and clear out other potential fuel for fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While ecologists value dead trees as natural assets that provide holes and logs needed by wildlife, firefighters view them as safety hazards that can crash down on roads, power lines and homes and that could potentially fuel bigger blazes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “scale of this tree die-off is unprecedented in modern history,” Brown’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/docs/10.30.15_Tree_Mortality_State_of_Emergency.pdf\">emergency declaration stated\u003c/a>, worsening wildfire risks and erosion threats and creating “life safety risks from falling trees.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of ecologists formally objected to the emergency declaration, \u003ca href=\"http://johnmuirproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/ScientistLetter2GovBrownRE2015Snags4Feb16.pdf\">arguing in a letter\u003c/a> to Brown that dead trees are natural and necessary parts of Californian landscapes. They pointed to a \u003ca href=\"http://www.climatecentral.org/news/wildfires-tied-to-drought-heat-topography-not-beetles-18817\">growing body of research\u003c/a> downplaying the wildfire hazards posed by trees killed by beetles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those ecologists, \u003ca href=\"http://johnmuirproject.org/about-us/\">Chad Hanson\u003c/a>, director of a small California nonprofit, says he agrees that dead trees that pose falling hazards should be removed. But he said trunks should be left on the ground to provide habitat instead of being incinerated or removed. “Once you fell the trees, they’re no longer a hazard,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Summertime fires in California cause less property damage than the fires that are fanned by dry Santa Ana winds in the fall and winter, but they sap more firefighting resources, \u003ca href=\"http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/10/9/094005\">research published last year\u003c/a> showed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were really trying to figure out how fires will change in southern California in the future,” said \u003ca href=\"http://www.faculty.uci.edu/profile.cfm?faculty_id=4971\">James Randerson\u003c/a>, a University of California, Irvine earth scientist who contributed to the study. “What we realized early on is that there are two distinct fire types.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the effects of climate change on Santa Ana winds fires remain riddled with uncertainty, scientists are generally convinced that the parching effects of global warming will lead to bigger, longer and more damaging summertime blazes in California — if they aren’t already doing so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That suggests the intense and early summer fire seasons in this and other recent drought-stricken years may have been less an aberration and more a bellwether of something that CAL FIRE officials frequently describe as a “new normal” for firefighters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With more greenhouse gas pollution piling into the atmosphere daily, continuing to warm the planet toward a 2°F increase from preindustrial times, and with warmer weather exacerbating droughts, mass tree die-offs could become routine features of Western landscapes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only would that eliminate or shrink some forests, driving them northward or uphill toward cooler climates, it could also force increasingly overworked firefighting agencies to juggle the additional routine task of managing dead trees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CAL FIRE is focusing its tree removal efforts in areas where most trees have died and where the dead trees pose the most immediate dangers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re focused on high hazard areas with the greatest threat to life safety and critical infrastructure,” CAL FIRE spokeswoman Janet Upton said. “There are literally hundreds of thousands of acres, and growing, affected by the unprecedented scope and magnitude of tree mortality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.climatecentral.org/\">Climate Central\u003c/a> \u003cem>is an independent organization that researches and reports on climate change.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
