Possible Silviculture Treatment in Lassen National Forest, CA

Date: 
07/2015
Disturbance Type: 
Silviculture
Unknown

ForWarn identified an anomaly in the Lassen National Forest, California. The patches of disturbance have sharp boundaries. Drought sensitivity of the cleared area is not likely a factor because adjacent non-forest area is not showing comparable decline in vegetation greenness. Because of these factors, its is probable that the disturbance is human sourced land treatment.
