I wonder if burning forests add significant amounts to atmosphere CO2 levels, thus adding an exponential term to global warming
Given that it takes several decades for a redwood tree to reach maturity, and given that a significant fraction of CA will be burning every year from now on, Californian redwood forests will disappear eventually

I'm sure there will be negative consequences, but redwoods are also quite fire resistant. The visitor center in Big Basin burned to the ground, but most of the forest is still there.

Adult ones are. Younger ones aren't. Mist is also a necessary component of their ecology. If the climate gets drier and fires more frequent, over time their regeneration might be in jeopardy.

They seem to have evolved with fire, it is probably a natural part of their lifecycle. https://www.savetheredwoods.org/grant/redwoods-regrow-after-fires/ … Paint me optimistic.

I went to one of the redwood parks and they specifically talked about how the trees have survived many fires.

A mature redwood tree is fire-resistant (to an extent), but a young one will just burn. If current trends continue redwood forests will disappear. They did not evolve for these conditions
