Yellowstone's standing dead trees pose growing wildfire danger

Study: 40% of Yellowstone National Park is experiencing moderate to high levels of tree mortality.

Areas near park entrances and popular sites are the most vulnerable, while less dense clusters of dead trees in the northeast and south posed a lower risk.

The researchers hope their methods can be applied to other regions facing the same challenges, allowing for better-informed fire management strategies.
