The tension between fire risk and carbon storage: evaluating U.S. carbon and fire management strategies through ecosystem models [PDF]
, 2007 Fire risk and carbon storage are related environmental issues because fire reduction results in carbon storage through the buildup of woody vegetation, and stored carbon is a fuel for fires. The sustainability of the U.S.
