    It's sad so many people do not understand what is going on here. Burning of prairie grass is very important to do, it helps wildlife and the native plants thrive and kills off invasive plants that would take over. Please go find before and after pictures of prescribed burns and see why this is done annually. Green lush grass and prairie flowers will grow In a few weeks after this, rather then just having dead grass over growing everything. Pease understand what's going on first before thinking they are just burning "natural habitat" down for fun..

    Simply put burning a field is extremely beneficial if it's done in a controlled setting. The aftermath of the fire leaves heavily nutrient enriched soils underneath the ash making it easier for larger plant life to grow in that area. Larger plant life means more oxygen output. Also smoke caused from a fire like this does not produce greenhouse gases so the environment was not affected negatively by the smoke. Fire has been one of Nature's ways for millions of years to help fertilize an environment, us humans are only just beginning to understand that.

    • @madman3891
      @madman3891 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      " 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?

    • @minecraftfirefighter
      @minecraftfirefighter 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    • @jasoncovert7379

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

      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.

      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.

    • @johnortmann3098

      @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.

      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..
