Toot

I've been thinking about that and trying to simultaneously think about the --the "slow water loop"? that was posted about here a few months ago.

Fire-safe rules as I know them in the US involve more and more gravel surrounds, continuous breaks in tree cover, etc. Which protect the buildings they're immediately around.

BUT they also make the landscape they're in hotter and drier and more fire-prone; the research I'm thinking of suggested that this kind of human development has tipped entire landscapes over into new, floodier, fierier regimes.

The only middle path I've come up with is, more grazing in the forests, and annual vines as shade right next to buildings that can be cut down and dragged away quickly if fire comes anyway. But I'm no expert, just mourning cool green landscapes.
