Wildfire effects on road surface erosion, deposition, and road–stream connectivity
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Earth Surface Processes and Landforms"
DOI: 10.1002/esp.4018
Abstract: High and moderate severity wildfires should increase sediment production from unpaved roads due to the increased surface runoff from upslope, and increase road-stream connectivity due to the decrease in downslope surface roughness as well as… read more here.
