Out of the Ashes: Oregon’s Living Aquatic Biodiversity Lab in the Forest
The Labor Day 2020 fires in western Oregon were unprecedented not only in the area burned—more than one million acres—but also in their ferocity. Hot, dry east winds swept across the state, causing small fires to rapidly explode into megafires of 100,000 acres or more within hours. In addition to five megafires, 12 other fires either started or expanded rapidly on September 7 and 8, 2020. These fires destroyed more than 6,000 homes, businesses, and structures. They also killed or damaged trees that could have produced an estimated 15 billion board feet of lumber.
