Investigating the impact of variations in particle size on heat flow from chaparral fires into soils using a laboratory based wildfire simulator

It has been well established that under certain circumstances wildfire is capable of producing water repellent or hydrophobic soils. Hydrophobic soils can dramatically alter runoff and erosion processes and as such have been the subject of considerable research activity. Wildfires in chaparral veget...
