Gartner 2005 <p class="textindent">This report presents a compilation of data on the erosive response, debris-flow initiation processes, basin morphology, burn severity, event-triggering rainfall, rock type, and soils for 608 basins recently burned by 53 fires located throughout the Western United States.&nbsp; The data presented here are a combination of those collected during our own field research and those reported in the literature.&nbsp; In some cases, data from a Geographic Information System (GIS) and Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) were used to supplement the data from the primary source.&nbsp; Due to gaps in the information available, not all parameters are characterized for all basins.&nbsp;</p><p class="textindent">This database provides a resource for researchers and land managers interested in examining relations between the runoff response of recently burned basins and their morphology, burn severity, soils and rock type, and triggering rainfall.&nbsp; The purpose of this compilation is to provide a single resource for future studies addressing problems associated with wildfire-related erosion.&nbsp; For example, data in this compilation have been used to develop a model for debris flow probability from recently burned basins using logistic multiple regression analysis (Cannon and others, 2004).&nbsp; This database provides a convenient starting point for other studies.&nbsp; For additional information on estimated post-fire runoff peak discharges and debris-flow volumes, see Gartner and others (2004).</p> application/pdf 10.3133/ofr20051218 en U.S. Geological Survey Compilation of data relating to the erosive response of 608 recently-burned basins in the western United States reports
