At the nexus of art and science, LA artists and the Forest Service come together to display the impacts of wildfire and drought on the Southern California community. https://t.co/q7826gRZD6

[Rocky Mountain Research Station @usfs_rmrs]

Warmer and drier climate conditions in the western US are limiting the ability of conifer forests to regenerate after wildfires. The next decades will offer a critical window of opportunity for management interventions to minimize additional forest loss: https://t.co/39M2b0YaoY

Since 1993, the #ForestProductsLab has studied ways to use woody biomass like small-diameter trees and standing dead trees. Biomass can be a major contributor to catastrophic wildfires, but it can also be used in many innovative ways. https://t.co/kG6Xf367Fl
