| Notes | How do wildfires affect forest soils? In this interesting baccalaureate honors thesis, the author compares similar burned and unburned slopes and uses techniques such as dye-tracing to discover differences in the way the slopes respond to rainfall. “This study has found evidence of changes in soil properties at the soil surface, including soil moisture, unsaturated hydraulic conductivity, and sorptivity, immediately after the first wet season following a moderate to high severity wildfire” (p.25). Kevin D. Bladon was the advisor. |
