野火风险正在迫使太平洋西北地区早期采伐木材,破坏土地价值并挑战传统森林管理。 Wildfire risks are forcing early timber harvesting in the Pacific Northwest, slashing land values and challenging traditional forest management.

根据俄勒冈州立大学的一项研究,西北太平洋不断上升的野火风险是将林地价值削减高达50%,迫使土地所有者早在24年前收获Douglas-fir树木,比传统的65年轮作早24年,原因是火灾危险增加和市场波动。 Rising wildfire risk in the Pacific Northwest is cutting timberland values by up to 50%, forcing landowners to harvest Douglas-fir trees as early as 24 years—far sooner than the traditional 65-year rotation—due to increased fire danger and market volatility, according to an Oregon State University study. 这种转变破坏了长期收入、碳储存和木材质量,暴露了无视气候风险的传统森林估值模型的缺陷。 The shift undermines long-term revenue, carbon storage, and wood quality, exposing flaws in traditional forest valuation models that ignore climate risks. 研究人员敦促更新政策,包括防火管理、碳激励和合作土地战略,以便在气候影响不断恶化的情况下平衡生态和经济可持续性。 Researchers urge updated policies, including fire-resistant management, carbon incentives, and cooperative land strategies, to balance ecological and economic sustainability amid worsening climate impacts.
