Continued evaluation of post-fire recovery and treatment effectiveness for validation of the ERMiT erosion model (combined proposals P07-2-2-10 and P07-2-3-06) - Final Report to the Joint Fire Science Program
The use and cost of post-fire emergency stabilization treatments continues to grow. To help maximize the impact of these treatments, many assessment teams use the Erosion Risk Management Tool (ERMiT) erosion model to predict postfire erosion and…
