Zwift - Coast to Coast in Watopia

Today’s focus in cleaning up the understory and madrone was habitat piles. They serve a similar purpose to surrogate logs but they provide larger interstitial spaces, commonly for small mammals. The bonus is that it reduces fuel sources hanging in the shrubs of the understory, making the forest more resilient to fire. Fires often go from creeping and single tree torching fires to large tree-to-tree fires when dry fuel sources are suspended above the ground allowing the overstory to ignite. Natural old growth forests that don’t have dense, young, monoculture trees are naturally resistant to this type of fire.
