The county depends on healthy forest ecosystems for its water supply and recreational opportunities, but is also susceptible to wildfires.<\/p><p>Active wildfire suppression over the past century has left much of Marin\u2019s forest and woodland severely overcrowded and dense. This accumulation of excess woody biomass creates forest densities outside of historic norms, greatly increasing the risk of high-severity wildfire.<\/p><p>Additionally, Marin County is proactively responding to the effects of climate change\u2013principally longer, drier summers and more intense winter rainstorms. In order to do so most effectively, the county needed better baseline data and analysis of the greenhouse gas emissions implications of different ways to use biomass removed from different ecotypes in the county.<\/p><p>In particular, Marin agencies were looking for ways to leverage and expand existing fuels reduction and landfill diversion initiatives by developing utilization pathways for these materials. Potential feedstocks range from woody biomass generated by woodland thinning and landscape trimmings to source-separated and mixed organic streams generated by the collection of metropolitan wood debris, food scraps, yard materials, and agricultural biomass.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ae9b616 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ae9b616\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f4ecda elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9f4ecda\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"873\" src=\"https:\/\/sig-gis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Marin-04-938x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-12316\" alt=\"Reduce Climate and Fire Risk\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sig-gis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Marin-04-938x1024.jpg 938w, https:\/\/sig-gis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Marin-04-275x300.jpg 275w, https:\/\/sig-gis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Marin-04-768x838.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sig-gis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Marin-04.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Marin County Biomass Utilization Study Vegetation &amp; Land Cover map<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-899b996 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"899b996\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21d8ec7 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"21d8ec7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1553801 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1553801\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"792\" height=\"838\" src=\"https:\/\/sig-gis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Marin-05.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-12320\" alt=\"The Marin Resource Conservation District\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sig-gis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Marin-05.jpg 792w, https:\/\/sig-gis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Marin-05-284x300.jpg 284w, https:\/\/sig-gis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Marin-05-768x813.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ca8f55 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2ca8f55\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26ed710 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"26ed710\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">SIG Steps In<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3dfd2e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3dfd2e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Marin Resource Conservation District turned to Spatial Informatics Group to conduct an inventory of the county\u2019s vegetation and land cover and then to investigate the greenhouse gas implications of different ways of using biomass in Marin.<\/p><p>SIG\u2019s scientists performed a geospatial classification of Marin County ecotypes, then undertook a deep dive into four biomass utilization pathways that had been previously identified.
