Persistence of Soil Water Repellency After the 2022 Bolt Creek Fire Open
Wildfire ash and water-repellent soil are new materials that are formed after a wildfire that change the mechanical and hydraulic behavior of wildfire-burned slopes. Wildfire ash is known to be typically hydrophilic and to retain water, wh…

Evaluating Watershed Response Using <span>WEPPcloud</span>—<span>EU</span> for Wildfire Burned Areas in Portugal Open
WEPPcloud—European Union (EU) is an online interface of the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model designed to predict streamflow and sediments in European forested watersheds. Although designed to be run in any location in Europe, …

Comparing modeled soil temperature and moisture dynamics during prescribed fires, slash-pile burns and wildfires Open
Background Wildfires, prescribed fires and slash-pile burns are disturbances that occur in many terrestrial ecosystems. Such fires produce variable surface heat fluxes causing a spectrum of effects on soil, such as seed mortality, nutrient…

Informing Sustainable Forest Management: Remote Sensing Strategies for Assessing Soil Disturbance after Wildfire and Salvage Logging Open
Wildfires have nearly become a guaranteed annual event in most western National Forests. Severe fire effects can be mitigated with a goal of minimizing the hydrologic response and promoting soil and vegetation recovery towards the pre-dist…

Spatial and temporal drivers of post-fire tree establishment and height growth in a managed forest landscape Open
Background In seed-obligate conifer forests of the western US, land managers need a better understanding of the spatiotemporal variability in post-fire recovery to develop adaptation strategies. Successful establishment of post-fire seedli…

Characterization of Environmental Seismic Signals in a Post-Wildfire Environment: Examples from the Museum Fire, AZ Open
The 2019 Museum Fire burned in a mountainous region near the city of Flagstaff, AZ, USA. Due to the high risk of post-wildfire debris flows and flooding entering the city, we deployed a network of seismometers within the burn area and down…

WEPPcloud hydrologic and erosion simulation datasets from 28 watersheds in US Pacific Northwest and calibrating model parameters for undisturbed and disturbed forest management conditions Open
The WEPPcloud interface is a new online decision-support tool for the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model that facilitates data preparation and model runs, and summarizes model outputs into tables and maps that are easily interpr…

Post Wildfire Forest Management: Can We Reduce the Impact of Salvage Logging on Erosion and Stream Sedimentation? Open
<p>Wildfires around the world continue to increase in size, severity, and cost. Major concerns after wildfires include the increased runoff and erosion due to loss of the protective forest floor layer, loss of water storage, and crea…
