Wildfires alter stream flow response to precipitation.
“Wildfires alter stream flow response to precipitation (Gao et al., 2017; Hallema, Sun, Bladon, et al., 2017; Hallema, Sun, Caldwell, et al., 2017; Shakesby & Doerr, 2006), and mobilize a variety of pollutants through downwind deposition or subsequent runoff.”

Channel morphology is often altered following fires, but this process can take years to manifest.
“Not surprisingly, since both drivers are affected by wildfire, channel morphology is often altered following fires, but this process can take years to manifest (Minshall et al., 1997; Shakesby & Doerr, 2006).”

Wildfires can affect hydrological processes (interception, infiltration, and evapotranspiration) that influence the timing and magnitude of streamflows (base flows, peak flows, and annual water production).

Compared to lower severity fires, higher severity fires consume a greater proportion of aboveground vegetation, forest litter, and other organic matter within the soil; these impacts expose more of the soil to precipitation and, in some cases, increase erosion by several orders of magnitude.

These can result in higher peak flows and shorter response times between precipitation and discharge.
“These can result in higher peak flows and shorter response times between precipitation and discharge (Shakesby & Doerr, 2006), hydrologic dynamics similar to watersheds with more impervious cover (e.g., paved roads, parking lots).”

Wildfire often kills and partially combusts vegetation and can alter soil hydrophobicity, depending upon vegetation burned and fire severity.
“Wildfire often kills and partially combusts vegetation and can alter soil hydrophobicity, depending upon the vegetation burned and fire severity, among other factors (Chanasyk et al., 2003; Murphy et al., 2018; Shakesby & Doerr, 2006).”

The majority of general studies into the effects of wildfire on water quality have focused on runoff amounts and nutrient levels, and only more recently has increased research attention been given to pyrolytic substances, chemical elements and biological reactivity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
