Post-fire Forest Management Activities Alter Soil Properties, Sediment Yields, and Vegetation Recovery in the Northern California Coast Range

Creator:

Cole, Ryan P.

Abstract:

The extent and severity of wildfires in forested regions are increasing throughout many regions on the planet, including western North America. High-severity wildfires directly affect soils and vegetation by altering soil hydraulic properties, reducing soil organic matter, exporting carbon and nitrogen, and killing trees and understory vegetation. These impacts can...

The Impact of Overlapping Forest Disturbance Across a Stream Network in Western Oregon: Harvesting, Wildfire and Post-Fire Management Effects on Stream Water Nitrate and Riparian Soil Nutrients

Creator:

McCredie, Katherine E.

Abstract:

Understanding the magnitude and longevity of wildfire effects in forested watersheds and subsequent impacts to downstream aquatic ecosystems and communities requires congruent investigation into post-fire aquatic and terrestrial processes. However, results from wildfire studies are often confounded by pre- and post-fire land management actions and based on either hydrologic or...
