Create a research question and hypothesis using if/then statement related to the main idea: A new method of forest manipulation to control wildfires shows that ecosystems including temperate forests, savannahs, and grasslands can lock in or increase the world's natural ability for carbon capture and storage, which can also help support biological ecosystem processes. Prescribed burning is said to encourage grass growth, increase root biomass, and increase the amount of carbon stored, which could stabilize or even increase soil carbon.
