Methods to Reduce Forest Residue Volume after Timber Harvesting and Produce Black Carbon by Deborah S. Page-Dumroese, Matt D. Busse, James G. Archuleta, Darren McAvoy, Eric Roussel

“…Pile burning is currently used on many forest sites as the preferred method for residue disposal because piles can be burned at various times of the year and are usually more controlled than broadcast burns. In many cases, fire can be beneficial to site conditions and soil properties, but slash piles, with a large concentration of wood, needles, forest floor, and sometimes mineral soil, can cause long-term damage. …”
