The forests in the West are far more dense with biomass than they ever were. Our area burned frequently. The native Americans burned to renew basket making materials, harvest sugar sap from sugar pine, harvest grasshoppers and hunt game animals.

The pre Euro-American Forest had much sparser trees with wide spacings. The forest floor had less detritus. "Old Growth forests" did not exist. They burned. The trees only lived to around 100 years old anyway, before they died of old age.

Didfferent areas have different forests. You can't apply East coast notions to Western, SouthWestern or Pacific NorthWestern forests. They are all different.
