| Abstract | This project will characterize properties of burned surface soils along a gradient of grazing intensity and conduct temporal monitoring of wind erosion rates and dust emission after the Smokehouse Creek Fire in the Texas Panhandle region. This wildfire is the largest fire ever recorded in the state’s history and burned more than 1 million acres. Previous research has shown that wildfires can trigger significant rates of soil erosion. This research project responds to the urgent need to capture t |
