[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5326468, member: 17"] As long as the fire is hot enough to kill the trees. Dr. Craig Harper from UT has done some of the best "fire in hardwood environment" research to date. Basically, what he found is that the tree canopy must be opened by timber harvest or fire-killed trees to see much of any benefit from fire. Burned areas must have sunlight reaching the ground to see regrowth, and if the canopy is still a full canopy, no sunlight to produce any regrowth after the fire. Most just don't want to work with fire hot enough to kill trees. First, it's dangerous to work with a fire that hot (nearly impossible to contain). Second, the landowner gains no monetary benefit, unlike harvesting the trees, which can be extremely lucrative with lumber prices being what they are right now. [/QUOTE]
