Abstract

Precipitation, stream discharge, bedload transport, and concentration of suspended materials were measured quantitatively and organic matter was observed and collected. Bedload transport increased 20-fold following the first fire and three-fold after the second. Particle sizes tended to increase during the period of study. Bedload data suggest a recovery period of 5-6 yr following the first fire and a shorter one following the second. A mass budget of material load transported in a single year following recovery indicated a dominance of dissolved load (87%), followed by suspended load (10%) and bedload (3%).
