2 Objectives 1. Provide a process-based summary of how fires in the Colorado Front Range affect soils, runoff, and erosion: At different spatial scales; Recovery over time; 2. Present data and observations from the High Park fire; 3. Use this knowledge and understanding to predict future recovery and potential for rehabilitation.

4 Post-fire Hydrology
5 Post-fire Hydrology Loss of vegetative canopy and surface cover; Shift in runoff processes from sub-surface stormflow to infiltration-excess (Horton) overland flow; LARGE increases in peak flows and erosion rates; Downstream sedimentation; Degradation in water quality (turbidity, suspended sediment, nitrate, manganese, dissolved organic carbon), and aquatic habitat. What are the primary causes of post-fire runoff and erosion, and what can we do to reduce them?

8 More students to do the hard work: Sarah Schmeer (Watershed) and Dan Brogran (Civil Engineering) Thanks to private landowners who allow access!
9 Key Observations about the High Park Fire Relatively small area burned at high severity;
10 Fire severity map (CSU version) Gordon Creek Cache la Poudre River Poudre Park Hill Gulch Skin Gulch Bennett Creek Lewstone Creek Lewstone Creek Pendergrass Creek Redstone Creek Redstone Creek Laurence Creek Stove Prairie Creek
11 Key Observations about the High Park Fire This patchiness relatively typical; Amount and distribution of burn severity has important implications for runoff, erosion, and delivery to the Poudre River;
12 Key Observations about the High Park Fire Burned relatively long and late, as only contained on 1 July; First major storm occurred on 6 July, so little opportunity to collect baseline (pre-storm) data; Relatively wet July led to lots of runoff and erosion; Second largest fire in Colorado history, plus proximity to CSU, led to an interdisciplinary research proposal;
13 RAPID Grant from NSF Detailed imagery and topography of the burned area; Physical science component: Sediment fences to measure hillslope-scale sediment production; Channel cross-sections and longitudinal profiles to track incision and deposition; Use measured sediment production rates and detailed imagery to predict watershed-scale sediment production; Use channel data to roughly estimate the proportion of sediment being delivered to the Cache la Poudre River; Now have about 20 sediment fences and 8 rain gages installed, but relatively dry August!

29 Key Observations about the High Park Fire Very large increase in peak flows; Undersized culverts at risk, particularly on private roads; Large amounts of sediment deposited in main channels; Believe that most of the sediment is NOT reaching the Poudre River; Ash and fine sediment deposited in the Poudre River, primarily along channel margins;
30 Implications Relatively low amounts of high severity and a wet July has led to rapid regrowth; Riparian areas; Shrublands; Most sites burned at moderate severity;
31 Sediment yield vs. percent bare soil Sediment yield (Mg ha -1 yr -1 ) y = e 0.095x p < R 2 = 0.61 n= Percent bare soil
32 Percent bare soil vs. time since burning 100 High severity y = Ln(x) Percent bare soil Moderate severity Low severity R 2 = 0.63 y = Ln(x) R 2 = 0.60 y = Ln(x) R 2 = Time since burning (years)
33 Annual sediment yields vs. time since burning: High severity sites 40.0 Sediment yield (Mg ha -1 ) Big Elk Hayman Schoonover Hewlett Gulch Bobcat Lower Flowers Crosier Mountain Bear Tracks Hourglass Median value Time since burning (years)
34 Hierarchy of controls on post-fire runoff and erosion Percent ground cover; Rainfall intensity (8-10 mm/hr sufficient to generate surface runoff and erosion); Soil: Moisture; Water repellency; Soil type.
35 Predictions: Now to summer 2013 Relatively rapid regrowth in shrublands and areas burned at moderate severity; Nearly at the end of the summer thunderstorm season, so probably will not see flooding like we saw in July (whew!); Fall rains and winter-spring snowmelt should?
36 Predictions Fall rains and winter-spring snowmelt should: Not cause any significant hillslope erosion; May cause some continuing channel incision in areas that have large sediment deposits, but most of this will still not reach the Poudre River; Mobilize much of the ash and fine sediment that is currently stored along the channel margins in the Poudre River and transport it further downstream;
37 Predictions: Summer 2013? Most of the ash and readily available fine sediment has already washed off the slopes and been delivered to the Poudre River, so next summer the water will not be nearly as black; Hillslope erosion rates, given similar rainfall events, will be much less due to the reduction in percent bare soil; Tributary channels will continue to incise and slowly stabilize;
38 Recovery: What to do? Selective mulching can help in summer 2013: Focus on high severity areas that still have relatively little regrowth; Even less of the sediment generated from the hillslopes and channels will reach the Poudre River; Focus on those tributaries that burned at high severity in their lower sections; Poudre River should slowly clean itself;
39 Recovery: What to do? Consider planting trees in the areas where natural seeding is unlikely; Litter is arguably the most important source of ground cover, particularly in poorer sites that cannot support a dense ground cover; Big problem with invasive species in some areas;
40 Good cover, but all leafy spurge (Hill Gulch)
41 Recovery: What to do? If we get an extreme storm event, all these predictions go out the window! In Hill Gulch, the 1976 Big Thompson storm has had a larger effect on the channels than the High Park fire.

59 Spatial variability in soil water repellency: Plot H1, high severity, Hayman fire 14 Meters Moles of ethanol per liter Meters Woods et al. 2007, Geomorphology
60 Summary: Soil Water Repellency Surface in unburned areas naturally water repellent, but less subsurface water repellency; Fire-induced water repellency is usually shallow (maximum of 9 cm); Usually strongest in high and moderate severity fires; May be stronger in prescribed fires due to higher fuel loadings and slower rate of fire spread; Very high spatial variability; Relatively rapid recovery ( 2 years); Not present under wet conditions (~10-35 percent soil moisture), depending on fire severity; CST faster and more consistent than WDPT.

76 Causes of Post-fire Runoff and Erosion Soil water repellency Loss of surface cover Loss of organic matter Loss of plant canopy Reduced roughness Increased velocity Soil sealing Rainsplash Increased soil erodibility Reduced Interception and transpiraton Increased runoff (peak flows, water yield) Increased surface erosion (rainsplash, sheetwash, rilling, gullying)
77 Lessons for Future Studies High variability between sites necessitates replication; Replication at plot and hillslope scale feasible, while replication at the catchment scale is costly and sites are difficult to find and replicate; One can never have too many rain gages, as the variability in rainfall can easily confound the results; Detailed site measurements are needed to interpret and explain the results (how do you understand the processes if you only measure the outputs?); Few studies are lucky enough to capture the largest storm events that may be of most interest, so the effects of these events have the greatest uncertainty.
78 Conclusions (1) High-severity wildfires increase runoff and sediment production rates by several orders of magnitude; Sediment production rates from high-severity sites are nearly an order of magnitude higher than sites burned at moderate or low severity; Sediment production rates are highest in the first two summers after burning, and rapidly decline to near-background levels except in sites with exceptionally coarse soils with poor growing conditions;
79 Conclusions (2) Percent ground cover is the most important control on post-fire erosion rates; Rainfall erosivity, topographic convergence, and soil texture are secondary controls on post-fire erosion; Rill erosion in convergent areas is the dominant erosion process rather than sheetwash on hillslopes; Soil water repellency is too short-lived to account for the observed increases in sediment production; We believe that soil sealing on bare soil is the primary cause of high post-fire runoff and erosion rates;
80 Conclusions (3) Erosion prediction models are not very accurate for individual sites, but can provide a first-order estimate of average sediment yields; Seeding and scarification do not increase ground cover or reduce erosion rates. Mulching is the most effective post-fire rehabilitation technique because it immediately provides ground cover and prevents soil sealing, but does not increase regrowth rates; Large amounts of sediment are deposited in downstream areas, and downstream channels are likely to take decades or even centuries to recover to pre-fire conditions.
