“…The latter is quite common in areas with scarce vegetation or that have been recently affected by forest fires, thus becoming more susceptible to erosion (e.g., Cannon et al, 2001a;Cannon and Gartner, 2005;Cannon et al, 2008;Santi et al, 2008;Baum and Godt, 2010;Cannon et al, 2011;Kean et al, 2013;Staley et al, 2013b;Staley et al, 2014). 25 The consumption of vegetation, ash deposition, changes in physical properties of soils and rocks and the presence of waterrepellent soils are typical consequences of fire (Cannon and Gartner, 2005;Cannon et al, 2010;Parise and Cannon, 2012).…”
