Answering Questions about the Appropriateness of Woody Vegetation Treatments
We hear a lot of laughter at the silly old notion of spending money on killing sagebrush, but we've largely substituted it with the same hubris toward juniper / pinyon pine control.
Can you please send me an email so I can contact you? My father died in 1991 involving a skidder and I'm hoping to talk to someone and give me the run down of how the accident could have been caused. Thank you so much
Photosynthetic input... Not enough magnesium? The is a system wide failure. If a community of humans suddenly started dying en masse of mild diseases, you might ask yourself what they all have in common.
Are these trees experiencing the geoengineering clouds ? Lack of sunlight makes it easier for disease and pests to be effective. Trees here in TN never get a break from dark wet conditions which they are not designed for. ??
Which vendor ? Be specific ?
Here in 2024, 10 years later, I have beavers in my backyard in Western Virginia; don’t confuse with West Virginia. So progress, I suppose. ^_^
Great😊
When I make biochar from Eastern Redcedar fuel stock, I end up with a 30% reduction by volume. I've found that placing the biochar in a stock tank and adding water is a good way to "crush" the char. The freeze/thaw action throughout the winter ruptures the charcoal into smaller pieces.

@Garyeichen: Rocky Mountain locust has been considered extinct for more than a century now. Mining, plowing, and ranching in the valleys of the Rockies, where the grasshoppers originated, are thought to have so transformed their habitat that they no longer bred.
Great talk, thank you for uploading this!😊
How is this sustainable? Dead wood is essential for biodiversity, soil health and an ideal surrounding for new trees. also youre burning the wood without any pyrolysis etc. so most of the gases like co2 go directly back in the atmosphere
Thanks for the presentation. I’m wanting to talk to my county extension agent about getting someone like you to show us how to restore understory in old growth pj. Biggest challenge is the Grand Staicase-Escalante Monument covers much of our lands.
I’m so glad to see someone who is knowledgable and able to see the management and interventions needed to restore our public lands to healthy conditions.

Rip I found this video right after I took the class 😂
Really sorry to see this didn't get more traction!
How would I get lider software
I am a bit obsessed with this topic since , if it's all optimized, it could fight climate change while also delivering useful products. There are problems with it. The biomass should be local and nice blocks of wood are dense and easy to store too. If we grow something fast and easy like high grass or bamboo then after harvest, it's not dense and a lot of the volume is air. So I thought about torrefaction and compression as solution. Next the product goes to a pyrolysis plant. However, the local torrefaction heats up and then cools down so a loss of energy. It would be better then to immediately pyrolyze and get the desired end products. That output is even more dense and we don't need to store that roasted biomass (fire danger and expensive silos) (fermentation of plants could perhaps work too for preservation but this brings in a lot of moist) If we feed the pyrolyzer only one type of biomass under always the same conditions, then I hope a mobile pyrolyzer like this could be made simple enough and affordable for any village and city to have them. What we see here is probably very expensive and requiring much expertise to work with. This is normal for a prototype.
I like that he pointed out so many strategies for dealing with climate change. It doesn't do a lot to hear about it and then not know what to do.
Interesting information, like the history about Potter, Pinchot and Powell. Thank you!
Go and look at Hive Carbon in South Africa. They have the right technology and experience. Very interesting
Is there a difference between biochar and lump charcoal? Can I just activate lump charcoal, or do I need to make or purchase biochar specifically?
Have any of the European and Eurasian hybrids taken over or caused other problems in the environment. This is a concern to me in Michigan as buckthorn, asian bitter sweet, and some species of honey suckle have caused major problems.
I have no way of proving this, but I am thinking that Terra Preta started as a household sanitary practice. A chamber pot, a place for food scraps, with fire pit charcoal mixed in to hold down the smells, then tossed onto a pile in the jungle near the village. It was the next generation that discovered the benefits of that practice which then became embedded in the culture. Hmmm ...
A dominant leader is healthy, but not seen much in the forest. I like to see branching at least 8 ft from ground. No one is that tall. Trees are more attractive when they are allowed some natural growth structure. Clearing deadwood and reducing congestion with colliding inner growth and length of limbs is normal maintanance. Unfortunately too many tree "experts" continue raising the canope without managing growth inside and furter out where branches rub and cross each other and add weight overall of branches. Wind should be able to pass through crown because reduction cuts are periodically made. If not the top of tree is pushed and stressed toward breakage. See recent Tulsa windstorm damage. On top of months of drought, thick crowns resulted in toppling trees.
From long-term observation, once A young nursery grown tree Suffers visible drought die back.Said tree will never be the same again. _•• Individual suffering pre transplanting drought when fall installation delayed._ Will become most fatally susceptible to a not necessarily severe Spring Drought. WE WATER NEW SOD, DONT WE?!? And probably one of the biggest reasons why contract transplanting of public trees should require follow up irrigation even at the minimum first three years. Here in Chicago from 2012 thru 2014 extended drought period during very worst of Emerald Ash Borer event. Specifically exponentially increasing fatal infestation populations during 4 year curve of death. Ash trees, a species superiorly surviving four year extended drought urban species. Suffered negligible effects. Regardless if Fully protected from EAB through inoculations or untreated tree. while catastrophic for Norway silver and other maples in general alongside linden/basswood. Requiring removal of at least 1/3 of Maple in Linden collection and Another onethird or more while survive have never been same again after drought. With Growth ring width visual proof decline linked back to past drought period. Great numbers of Urban Austrian pines suffered drought inflicted diploidia tip dieback. A disease assumed to be already present in urban specimen as compared to Forest examples. Since I had already suspected this possibility. I had become one of only few professionals Encouraging action in a timely manner. I was able to halt progression. Thus requiring no further action. While unmanaged Austrian pines continued to substantially decline From bottom up until removal required. Also noted how delayed action had been unable to slow down progression of Diplodia tip blight if attempted four or more years after Drought induced start of Diplodia.
When you start hybridizing with other species of elm it’s no longer a true American Elm. Just stick with the straight species and select those with the greatest resistance. Eventually natural selection will sort it out.
Lomapreata is the only soil type healthy enough that it would not be worth adding biochar

Hi Chris! If you are in Utah, feel free to come out to our next biochar demonstration in a few weeks on April 20, 2023. We won't have this mobile pyrolysis machine at the demonstration, but you can meet with the organizers and learn about the biochar kilns we are using today.

I fail to see how cultural pruning "methods" trump science. Are we against being woke in proper forestry practices?
I don't see how method can be eliminated from the procedures. Type of cutting impacts tree health and stability. Is there consensus on the new standards? Are these benefiting the health of our trees?
Started using biochar in my garden before I knew anything about it ,except my dad always had a brush pile going and toward the end he shoveled dirt onto the fire because he hought that the ash and the charcoal, that you could crush with your hands was good for his soil. He came to this conclusion when he started farming on an ok . piece of land but he wanted to make it the best land. It was his first farm. He was 16 years old. . It was 1933 or 1934. He was a young child when he had to leave his childhood farm to go live in the city. Having little money he listened to the old farmers on ways to save money and build a better farm. My story was much the same. I dreamed of having a garden like we had when I was a child on the farm before my father " broke" his back and we left the farm. When I started heating my house with wood I strove to get crushable chunks of charcoal especially in spring and fall when I didn't need a heating fire during the day. ..that was 1976.
Believe the paper on drought stress pruning and fungi was by Boddy and Rayner 1984. (Not "Bodie" as your voice generated transcription indicates.) Thanks for your fine presentation.
I see a 1983 paper “Origins of decay in living deciduous trees: the role of moisture content and a re‐appraisal of the expanded concept of tree decay”
Yes, thank you. Just cited this paper when speaking about planting trees at a correct depth.
I know absolutely nothing about cutting trees.
thankful for the Chinese diagrams. They're leading the way in terms of biochar incentives and re-tooling agricultural models :)
Important work! Fantastic program. Thank you.
brilliant, i appled everything i learnt today at work and I had one of the best work days ever. multi stem trees really are a structural nightmare
why?
