Fire-induced erosion and millennial-scale climate change in northern ponderosa pine forests
Western US ponderosa pine forests have recently suffered extensive stand-replacing fires followed by hill slope erosion and sedimentation. These fires are usually attributed to increased stand density as a result of fire suppression, grazing and…

Modeling of the interactions between forest vegetation, disturbances, and sediment yields
The controls of forest vegetation, wildfires, and harvest vegetation disturbances on the frequency and magnitude of sediment delivery from a small watershed (3.9 km2) in the Idaho batholith are investigated through numerical modeling. The model…

Effects of Wildfire on soils and watershed processes
Wildfire can cause water repellency and consume plant canopy, surface plants and litter, and structure-enhancing organics within soil. Changes in soil moisture, structure, and infiltration can accelerate surface runoff, erosion, sediment transport,…

Impacts of fire and mass wasting on channel morphology and stream temperature in mountain rivers of central Idaho (abstract)
Debris flows and hyperconcentrated flows immediately impact streams by changing channel morphology, grain size, sediment storage and transport, amount of incision, riparian vegetation, large woody debris dynamics, and extirpating fish, amphibian,…
