Every year, forest fires and severe storms cause a great deal of damage
to forests in the northwestern United States. One way of dealing with the
aftermath of these disasters is called salvage logging, which is the
practice of removing dead trees from affected areas and using the wood
for lumber, plywood, and other wood products. There are several
reasons why salvage logging is beneficial both to a damaged forest and
to the economy.
First, after a devastating fire, forests are choked with dead trees. If the
trees are not removed, they will take years to decompose; in the
meantime, no new trees can grow in the cramped spaces. Salvage
logging, however, removes the remains of dead trees and makes room
for fresh growth immediately, which i s likely to help forest areas recover
from the disaster.
Also, dead trees do more than just take up space. Decaying wood is a
highly suitable habitat for insects such as the spruce bark beetle, which
in large numbers can damage live, healthy spruce trees. So by removing
rotting wood, salvage logging helps minimize the dangers of insect
infestation, thus contributing to the health of the forest.
Third and last, salvage logging has economic benefits. Many industries
depend upon the forests for their production, and because of this a fire
can have a very harmful effect on the economy. Often, however, the
trees that have been damaged by natural disasters still can provide
much wood that is usable by industries. Furthermore, salvage logging
requires more workers than traditional logging operations do, and so it
helps create additional jobs for local residents.
