#75-Changing Regeneration with Phil Comeau
from YourForest · host Matthew Kristoff
How can we sequester more carbon, reduce the use of herbicide, produce more wood fibre, all while approaching a more "natural” method of forest regeneration? Phil thinks there may be a way. We discuss how the Boreal forest regenerates naturally, how we have historically regenerated after forest harvest and why there is such a gap between these two things. The first 27 minutes is just an overview of natural succession, setting the foundation for this discussion. Then we jump into the nitty gritty details of why it may be important to start transitioning cutblock regeneration into something more approaching natural forest succession, and how we can start to do that.
