Giant 400-year-old red tingle tree destroyed in WA prescribed burn

"Environmental advocates say the state government needs to urgently review its prescribed burning policy...Dr Zylstra said that rather than continuing with a practice that increased the risk of intense bushfires the department should focus on non-destructive controls." >>

[not my usual ‘sort of thing’ to post - as broad as that is - but I found this fascinating; it reminds me, in a sense, of the Incas incrementally selecting corn stock that can handle higher and higher altitudes, in ‘research stations’, although those were a domesticated crop]

map - Six genetically distinct clusters of hazelnuts are represented in the study region, with four groups in the “isolated” northern region. Considering ethnographic and archaeological records of hazelnut management among Ts’msyen, Nisga’a, Gitanyow, and Gitxsan, this genetic diversity very likely reflects ancient management and cultivation efforts.
charts - Clustering results of hazelnut individuals obtained by discriminant analysis of principal components (DAPC) and Bayesian-based structure analysis. (A) Plot of the first two axes from a principal component analysis (PCA) of 219 hazelnut samples genotyped for 9,650 SNPs showing differentiation between South Coast, Interior, and North samples. Groups are shown as different colors and inertia ellipses (95% of variance), while dots represent individuals. (B) Structure plot showing the posterior probabilities of assignment of individuals to the different clustering groups.

Riverside County: Prescribed Burn Scheduled at Lake Mathews.

Monday, June 3rd, through Friday, June 14th, 2024... CAL FIRE / Riverside County Fire Department, in cooperation with Riverside
County Habitat Conservation Agency, and Metropolitan Water District, will be conducting a a vegetation management prescribed burn at Lake Mathews. The prescribed burn at Lake Mathews accomplishes the goal of rehabilitating the burrowing owl and Stephens’ Kangaroo Rat (SKR) habitat through eradication of invasive, non-native grasses and weed species. This allows mammal species to find food and make homes.

The prescribed burn at Lake Mathews accomplishes the goal of rehabilitating the burrowing owl and Stephens’ Kangaroo Rat (SKR) habitat through eradication of invasive, non-native grasses and weed species. This allows mammal species to find food and make homes. Through a collaboration of agencies, along with previous year’s successful prescribed burns and goals, the SKR has been down-listed from “endangered” to “threatened”

"It was only about fifty miles away from Vallecitos that two prescribed burns got out of control last year and became the biggest wildfire the state's ever seen. The Hermit's Peak/Calf Canyon fire burned hundreds of homes.
Resident Timoteo Chacón summed up a lot of people's feelings.
"The last time that it got away here, obviously, they knew that was a time for a windy time. And they went ahead and did it," he said.
