LOL! Darn all that intrigue, down the drain. Probably for the best you aren't JBF. My goal is not to alienate despite evidence otherwise. But Jimbo, the empirical element IS missing, which is why I tried courting key University members early on, (then later beleaguering, and again courting) these folks who could most efficiently create those kinds of experiments. Any combination of carrot and stick seems to leave them unimpressed however.
Those in the sciences have the privilege of time to carry out regimented types of investigations and the ability to access resources, (public lands and money, grad student labor, lab assistants, field tests...) that many of us don't, which is why I feel it is their job to investigate in the manner that defines them. If they don't feel the same, perhaps a small percentage of those resources could be shared with the community for vital experiments in times of true crisis.
Again, I am not trying to re-invent the wheel. Simply pointing out that the assumption that fire has to be 'site specific' for a forest to benefit from burned material may be faulty. As well I provided a solid theory to illustrate how 'material specific' fire products when applied as fertilizer might prove to have enough anti parasitic and anti fungal properties all by themselves (minus the heat of fire) to kill forest blights, (besides providing a known source of nutrition). These are all just "Mr Potato Head" features on some 'givens' and could prove useful in heavily populated forest lands where controlled burns of actual forest land isn't practical. Luckily residents seem more receptive than scientists. These trees take almost a millennium to reach full maturity but under this new threat can perish in a matter of weeks. I feel obliged to compete with this disaster full bore in the only manner which I can currently accommodate. Wish me luck and join the fight if you are so inclined. Perhaps you might share these ideas with your professors.
Any of my Ash-iers have any spare product? Spotted a new swatch of forest outside K-Town that could use a suture. I used up my last batch treating a neighbors trees. Probably need about 5lbs total. (Ohia Wood seems to reduce to about 10% it's original mass when burned.)
