I think its making a big assumption to think that we’re managing fire and the understory in the same manner as what has happened in the past……especially considering we no longer have herds of grazing animals roaming these stands….

Even still though, whether we are or whether we aint……I’d still think that its important for a “land manager” to understand the difference in 2% SOM and 6% SOM and how much of their potential that’s impacting instead of just saying “Well none of that is even worth knowing and paying attention to…..We’ll just assume that its good”
