The only reason these fires are such a problem now is that they have been supressed for decades, allowing for a considerable build up of fuel load. If they had been allowed to do their seasonal thing...wildlife wouldn't be so affected. Yet another example of human interference gone wrong.

Have you ever heard of the cheatgrass-wildfire cycle?

Just my thoughts on this....we can't keep studying cheatgrass to death.... I think it's safe assuming our $$$ would be better spent in collective efforts eradicating it. I think fire suppression is a part of what's going on out west but.... cheatgrass burns hot and it burns fast so it comes back with a vengeance after a fire thanks to a viable seedbank that's left intact. We know more than enough now to definitively classify cheatgrass as a highly invasive species in need of control, management, and eradication. It threatens homes and human life while gobbling up rangelands and obliterating native species in its path so exactly why are we still throwing $$$ into the seemingly endless research pot>>>?
