When you "clear forests of fallen/dead debris to lessen the risk of fire" you disrupt the natural cycle which depends on "fallen/dead debris" and even fire to renew the soil and promote new growth. In fact, that is one of the arguments often put forth against campfires: by stripping the forest floor of dead wood, which would eventually decay and fertilize the soil, you harm the health of the forest.

Nature has a way of clearing forests of debris: fire.
