Modification of Soil Hydroscopic and Chemical Properties Caused by Four Recent California, USA Megafires

Modification of Soil Hydroscopic and Chemical Properties Caused by Four Recent California, USA Megafires

While it is well known that wildfires can greatly contribute to soil water repellency by changing soil chemical composition, the mechanisms of these changes are still poorly understood. In the past decade, the number, size, and intensity of wildfires have greatly increased in the western USA. Recent...
