Modeling soil erosion on steep sagebrush rangeland before and after prescribed fire
Fire in sagebrush rangelands significantly alters canopy cover, ground cover, and soil properties which influence runoff and erosion processes. Runoff can be generated more quickly and in larger volume following fire resulting in increased risk of…

Runoff and erosion effects after prescribed fire and wildfire on volcanic ash-cap soils
After prescribed burns at three locations and one wildfire, rainfall simulations studies were completed to compare postfire runoff rates and sediment yields on ash-cap soil in conifer forest regions of northern Idaho and western Montana. The…

First-year post-fire erosion rates in Bitterroot National Forest, Montana
Accelerated runoff and erosion commonly occur following forest fires due to combustion of protective forest floor material, which results in bare soil being exposed to overland flow and raindrop impact, as well as water repellent soil conditions.…
