I’m not even sure if controled burns are the best option long term, it still releases a ton of carbon and particulate matter. It might be better to make artificial peat lands and sink organic materials into them, acting as a carbon sink. Or maybe even remove the deadfall for other purposes.
Wild fires are a sign of a healthy forest. It burns all of the brush allowing new growth. Many plant species have evolved for their lifecycle to require being exposed to fires to germinate.
