A Laboratory Study of the Effects of Wildfire Severity on Grain Size Distribution and Erosion in Burned Soils

Wildfires pose a significant threat to the entire ecosystem. The impacts of these wildfires can potentially disrupt biodiversity and ecological stability on a large scale. Wildfires may alter the physical and chemical properties of burned soil, such as particle size, loss of organic matter and infil...
