Fire, geomorphic processes, and landforms interact to determine natural patterns of ecosystems over landscapes. Fire alters vegetation and soil properties which change soil and sediment movement through watersheds. Landforms affect fire behavior and…

In the year following the 1961 Sleeping Child forest fire on the Bitterroot National Forest, Montana, 11 permanent transects were established within the burn. Vegetation development was recorded through 1973, but only four transects were considered…

The effects of wildfire and logging on erosion from two small catchments of the Pine Creek drainage in Idaho, USA, were investigated. One catchment was clearfelled in 1972 and a wildfire burned in the study areas in 1973. The fire was more intense…

Wildfire directly changes the physical properties of Earth’s critical zone, which leads to catastrophic changes in ecological and hydrological processes (Shakesby & Doerr, 2006). Uncontrolled wildfire in forested headwater catchments often…
The primary objective of the National Landslide Hazards Program is to reduce long-term losses from landslide hazards by improving our understanding of the causes of ground failure and suggesting mitigation strategies.
While many wildfires cause little damage to the land and pose few threats to fish, wildlife and people downstream, some fires create situations that require special efforts to prevent further problems after the fire. Loss of vegetation exposes soil…
The Burned Area Learning Network addresses post-fire impacts to ecosystems and communities.
Wildfires in the West are increasing in size and severity, and are impacting more communities. While we recognize fire as an inevitable and essential process…
