Rob Diaz de Villegas, our ecology producer, is back at it again. Prescribed fire maintains biodiversity in the longleaf ecosystem but releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Could a forest that burns its carbon every few years possibly store more carbon than it emits? We visit The Jones Center at Ichauway in search of an answer. For this segment and more visit the link in our bio. This segment was produced in collaboration with NOVA l PBS. Special thanks to the Coastal Plains Institute, Florida A&M University professor Yuch-Ping Hsieh, and Tall Timbers, a Research Station & Land Conservancy.
