Controlled Burns, but We Want to Sell the Timber

Controlled burns have been practised by a number of civilizations for millennia. But when european settlers came and colonized north america, they wanted to sell the timber. The problem with burning everything like these uncontrolled burns is they also kill living vegetation. It's just like it burns everything in sight and leaves basically nothing. And it burns off a huge amount of carbon stores. So the great thing about controlled burns is it very slowly burns off these carbon stores in this dead od,. Then it gives it time to regrow, so that you recapture the carbon instead of all at once.
