Why do we burn? Examining arguments underpinning the use of prescribed burning to manage wildfire risk

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Managing wildfire risk requires consideration of complex and uncertain scientific evidence as well as trade‐offs between different values and goals. Conflicting perspectives on what values and goals are most important, what ought to be done and what trade‐offs are acceptable complicate those decisions.
