Wildfires are ubiquitous among Earth’s major ecosystems, resulting in effects on vegetation, soils, water quantity, water quality, hillslope and fluvial geomorphic processes, organisms, and human activities. Following a wildfire, removal of vegetation combined with changes to soil physical and chemical properties can result in shifts in controlling processes such as soil water dynamics, streamflow generation, soil erodibility, and surface energy balances. These process changes have consequences for water, carbon, sediment, and nutrient fluxes across large ranges of spatial and temporal scales. This session will emphasize point- to landscape-scale impacts of wildfire on hydrologic, geomorphic, biogeochemical, and ecological processes. We also look forward to contributions that discuss the needs and direction of our research community. This session welcomes the opportunity to highlight research across diverse geographic locations and will include a virtual component to encourage remote participation. We encourage abstracts that creatively highlight field or laboratory experiments using virtual technologies.
