- Abstract
The Blue Mountains Complex of Oregon stretches east to west from the Snake River to the Cascades. Photo George Wuerthner They go on to say: "This has led some researchers and the agency to falsely conclude that Eastside forests were predominately open park-like pine forests, when, in fact, fire regimes and forest structure and composition were much more complex." Furthermore, larger trees accumulate carbon at a more rapid rate than smaller trees, so maintaining as many large trees--either alive or even dead--in the forest ecosystem is critical to keeping carbon in the forest ecosystem.
