Manual Synthesis

Six burning issues in fire and watershed science

Our initial (manual) analysis of survey responses suggest the following burning issues for the science of fires and watersheds:

  1. The role of pyrogenic material in hydro-biogeochemical cycling
  2. Fire resilience and dependency in watershed ecosystems
  3. Fire impacts on terrestrial-aquatic linkages
  4. Fire impacts in hydrology
  5. Watershed recovery and management practices
  6. Integrating indigenous knowledge and culture in watershed science
