Abstract:Over the past two decades, wildfire activity in the western USA has increased, especially in California. Wildfires not only affect air quality but also the environment at large, including chemical and physical properties of fire-affected soils, which are of great interest for prediction and mitigation of hydrological consequences. Hyperspectral reflectance can be used to remotely assess the effects of fires on soil and here we use it to characterize soils before and after three 2021 California wildfires (Dixie… Show more
