Impact of forest fire on physical, chemical and biological properties of soil: A review (2012, background): “At temperatures of 700 to 800C the complete destruction of internal clay structure can occur (Neary et al., 2008).”
Nationwide Assessment of Nonpoint Source Threats to Water Quality (2012, background): “…capacity (Forman and Alexander 1998); severe forest fires (e.g., BenavidesSolorio and MacDonald 2001, Cannon et al. 2001, Moody and Martin 2001, Neary et al. 2005); and livestock grazing, especially in riparian areas (Kauffman and Krueger 1984, Wohl and Carline 1996, Belsky et al. 1999).”
How common are invasion-induced ecosystem impacts? (2011, background): “Although resource dynamics may change greatly in the wake of such fire regime changes (Neary et al. 2005), changes in many species in the ecosystem would likely have occurred even independently of the resource changes and would have sufficed to qualify the impact as one at the ecosystem level.”
The role of precipitation type, intensity, and spatial distribution in source water quality after wildfire (2015, background): “…peak discharge has been attributed to altered hydrologic conditions that favor overland or near-surface flow, such as decreased interception (Neary et al 2005), loss of surface cover (Larsen et al 2009), decreased evapotranspiration (Dore et al 2012), and changes to soil hydraulic…”
