@@michaelmayer1996 Do you lay awake at night and wonder why no one wants to talk to you?

@@michaelmayer1996 Nobody who walks into that tall grass ever comes back out.

et ouais en tout cas pollution !

It's so sad that many people feel the need to belittle and talk down to others for their lack of knowledge of a very specific topic. Instead of being so condescending could you not have simply explained what a perscribed burn is? Or did you need to feel better about yourself the day you responded?

i just worry for all the animals in there, but i see your point tho :)

Marion Church the response was just fine. Go back to your safe place.

CosmicNightWolf Yours is clearly behind a keyboard.

" Also smoke caused from a fire like this does not produce greenhouse gases" This isn't true at all, any burning of organic material releases CO2 and Nitrogen dioxide, both being greenhouse gases. Where did you get the idea that it didn't produce any?

Well plants eat CO2 so yeah, that isnt a big issue no2 comes down again and gives it back to the plants, but most stays in the ash. so the flowers that grow back their eat the CO2 that was put in the amposthere. The thing we are doing is taking carbon attoms from the long carbon cycle and quickly release them in the air.

True, but it is effectively net zero GHG emissions since the grass absorbs an equal amount of CO2 and nitrogen during its lifetime.

@@madman3891 it doesn't produce enough to make a difference compared to industrial emissions.

My exact thoughts

Agreed! I'm a retired career wildland firefighter from California, this is what we do for a living as part of our job. I think it's great that you're teaching students how to back fire (or burn out). I realize that they are civilians and not professional firefighters but where is there PPE??? As students don't have a lot of (or any) experience in this, it should be stressed upon even more about the safety of performing these operations.

Look out; Communication; Escape route; Safety zone. Do these kids know this ?

Missy Rabbit often times it’s done by the fire department controlled burns can help with forest fires by getting rid of the fuel for the fire in front of the lines or before the fire started to get rid of the small dead brush covering the floor of a forest that accumulated over time

Yes is short answer. It's a facsimile test plot to learn about the Prairie grasses and document many aspects for better results elsewhere as the move is on to restore many places to the original flora and fauna of those times.

Okay osha

Are you sure you know? Because I clearly hear COMMUNICATIONS with radios which leads me to believe they probably have a few people posted around as LOOKOUTS and the big green grassy area is a pretty good SAFETY ZONE and the road they were on is the ESCAPE ROUTE

That comparison makes no sense lol. The people that are complaining are doing so because this is caused by humans and avoidable where as a volcano is naturally occurring and unavoidable.

well its not accurate but its true, and lets say you were to burn a bunch of tires in your yard it still would not effect anything therefore its safe.

Lol I can't tell if you're joking with these comments but burning tires is extremely toxic.

both of you got good points tbh xD burning tires is not gonna end the world, same as a grass field but we can avoid burning stuff for sure tho

Big thing here is that grass fire smoke is pretty non-toxic, petroleum/oil based stuff is generally pretty nasty (to super toxic) however. Nature needs fire anyway.

Nope prairies need-fire far more than the forested areas. For good Prairie management you generally want a fire once every three years some of the prairies would often burn annually. Many of the plants rely on the fire to activate they're reseeding as well. The other big thing is fire controls the invasion of Woody shrubs and trees into the environment keeping it a grass dominated system.

Like how you all are just commenting like you guys know nothing

Easily escaped.? Not when the fire was lit on four sides..Let’s see you escape from that...

Californians?

No one because it's carbon neutral

Wertyuookl.@*

They burned 3 side the animals can still escape. They aint that dumb. They smell and sense when a fire is coming...

@Gas: What you suggest is a prescription for disaster. It can take hours for a fire to back across even a small prairie patch, at a rate of only about 100 feet/hour. This increases the time the wind direction can change and blow the fire out of an unprotected side, resulting in an escape that can be destructive or even deadly. To prevent this,, the standard tactic is to conduct a "ring" fire, starting at the most downwind point and pulling fire up both flanks parallel to the wind, thus fireproofing the unit edges with burned-out black. The "head" fire is set on the fourth, upwind side, letting the fire burn into the black bag created by the back and flank fires. Animals can be allowed to escape by not completely closing the ring on the upwind side. As the flank fires converge on the interior of the unit, animals are driven out through the gap. The didn't do that in this video, but they easily could have as the headfire side of the fire was protected by a bomb-proof area of short, green lawn. Many smaller animals will seek shelter in borrows and survive. Some small animals, think mice, are killed, but this in turn is a bonanza for predators and scavengers that clean up the remains. If you've ever seen a hundred or more hawks after a fire, too bloated to fly away, you would know what I mean. Come back after dark and coyotes will be sniffing out the dead mice. Since these carnivores are eating the fire casualties, they are not hunting and eating other animals, so the net effect is about a wash. For a broad outline of grassland prescribed fire, see: extensionpublications.unl.edu/assets/pdf/ec148.pdf

then the fire cant pas bc it has already burnt

Also becuase it's a great learning opportunity for conservation students who could use the experience

Why not spray it with water or save it. So much smoke...

Why would they do that? They want it gone, controlled burns in this case are the most effective method.

Nick plays_101. Because you can't get new growth with all that dead over grown grass. You would be amaze to see this same spot a few weeks after the burn. It turns dead dry grass back into lush green prairie with more wild life then before. This is the best thing for this area.. I would do burns every year on hundreds of acres and the outcome was amazing to see. Beautiful flowers and plants sprout up very fast and the fire kills the invasive plants that would take over..

And? Wildlife die all the time to other wildlife... some of the time without a fighting chance

@@mrnipzs7604 This is not wildfire but prescribed burn so maybe it wasn't necessary to encircle burned area like that.

Well most of the animal's in that's grass will be pests and most if them will have plenty of time to run out of the fire

Don't worry, rabbits are fast and disposable

It’s only a technique that the Europeans inherited from the native Americans when they first settled in America. Native Americans have been doing it for thousands of years.

ALL the rabbits were in that one field? Crazy...

They are fast enough to run away.

blinko656 it’s called cooked bunny 🐰

Ujification it's dead grass it has no protein

@@brysonbermes1264 or at the very least too little to make it worth it to feed it to them.

Hey, get grammar lessons! It'll help people understand you!

They are adults kid gtfo off this and go play roblox

@@brysonbermes1264 What kind of roast is that?😂

Mega thicc boi ain't a roast

Calling him a kid cuz he can't spell, realize they are adults and can do whatever they want and has a Minecraft pic

Ahhh there's no wheat here dumbass!

this is native plant life. prairie. not a farm!

Solsist Roblox Go and do some research before commenting...

They only burnt 3 sides of it though And by the time they got to the second side the animals would have known what was happening because their not stupid So by the time they even got done lighting it everything would be gone

And every animal in there is a pest

Troy Winkler so fire that occurred naturally thousands of years ago didn’t kill animals? Fire is a part of ecosystems and can help them thrive, even if it kills animals.

and that why you are still alone!

excuse me

Troy Winkler what's excuse me meant to mean?

lol who cares? In the time that the video has been running probably 200 bunnies have been born elsewhere.
