- California Can’t Replant Its Forests Fast Enough To Keep Up With Wildfires
California is struggling to replant forests fast enough to counteract the damage caused by wildfires. A seed bank in Davis stores 42,000 pounds of seeds as part of efforts to preserve and regenerate forest ecosystems.
- California can’t replant its forests fast enough to keep up with wildfires
California's seed bank in Davis stores seeds for reforestation, but wildfires are destroying forests faster than they can be replanted. High-severity fires have burned 2.3 million acres, and by 2071, half of California's forests could vanish. The state needs to triple seed bank capacity to address the crisis, but federal land and funding challenges persist.
