Longer-term impacts of fuels reduction treatments in the Lake Tahoe Basin: Research Brief
/Forests in the study area were impacted by long-established fire exclusion and early timber harvesting. Employing a robust before-after-control-impact (BACI) study design, researchers assessed how thinning in forests altered forest structural conditions in the short- and longer-term.
