Vegetation recovery, plant hydrology, and functional differences post-fire evapotranspiration in a southwestern pine-oak forest, Arizona, USA
Abstract: Post-fire stand, water balance, and hydrology are critical factors influencing vegetation recovery after a wildfire. Fire severity, and the amount of fire-induced tree mortality influence post-fire vegetation water cycling, as the rate of water movement from the soil to the atmosphere, depends upon the amount of live vegetation cover in the wake of wildfire. … Read more
