InciWebUnderstanding Soil Burn Severity

Publication Type: Announcement
Understanding Soil Burn SeverityWe tend to think of wildfire burn severity in terms of the visual impacts to above-ground vegetation, but the post-fire landscape response (erosion, flooding, and mass movement) is generally more strongly correlated to soil burn severity. When characterizing soil burn severity, looking at the vegetation is a good starting place to understand the conditions on the ground. Armed with that information, the BAER team’s watershed specialists (soil scientists, hydrologists, and geologists) ground-truth different vegetation burn intensities to tease out patterns of how fire affected and changed the properties of the soil. Pre-fire ground cover, forest type, fire behavior, slope, aspect, and other factors all influence soil burn severity. After field observations are collected, specialists adjust the vegetation severity map to create the soil burn severity (SBS) map. The SBS is broken into four different classes: unburned (green), low severity (blue), moderate severity (yellow), and high severity (red).So what do these different classifications mean?LOW severity areas generally have intact and recognizable litter layers (organic material on the forest floor, such as pine needles and twigs). These litter layers may be charred, but are not consumed. Underlying topsoil is intact and near-surface fine roots are unburned. These soils have enough cover to protect them from erosion during rain events because their natural porosity and structure allow rain to soak into the soil instead of running off, while fine roots provide stability. In low severity areas, burns may have been patchy—islands of green vegetation and intact canopies may be present.MODERATE severity areas generally have more—up to 80% of their pre-fire surface litter layers consumed by fire. Black or gray ash may be present on the soil surface. Fine roots near the surface may be scorched and killed. Topsoil layers are generally intact with minimal impacts to the soil’s ability to absorb moisture. Soils with moderate severity are more susceptible to erosion in post-fire rain events because they have lost protective surface cover and may have less surface stability because of root mortality.HIGH severity areas generally have had all their pre-fire surface litter layers consumed by fire. White or gray ash may be present on the soil surface. Fine roots are often fully burned/consumed within several inches of the soil surface, and even large tree roots may have burned deep into the soil. Soil may be powdery or grainy and loose, unable to bind together and retain water. These soils are very susceptible to erosion and often have high surface run-off during rainstorms.So, what does the BAER team do with the SBS map?The BAER team uses the SBS map to make predictions about how the landscape will respond after fires. Soil scientists consider where soil productivity will be degraded due to erosion losses and where sediment may move into stream channels. Hydrologists use the SBS to predict watershed response—surface runoff from high SBS areas in rainstorms can produce more “flashy” behavior in stream systems. Geologists use the SBS to inform predictions for debris flow or other mass movement potential based on reduced soil stability in steep drainages. BAER teams focus on emergency responses to stabilize burned areas that may impact Forest Service critical infrastructure or other values located within or immediately downstream of high soil burn severity areas.

Actualización de los Incendios Riverside & Beachie Creek– Sábado, octubre 10, 2020
Información General: Se espera lluvia y viento a lo largo de este fin de semana, lo que puede producir 1.5 pulgadas de lluvia para el sábado en la tarde con una pulgada mas anticipada para el lunes en la mañana. Ya se a reportado una pulgada de lluvia en el valle Willamette. Las crestas y los drenajes dentro del área del incendio pueden que observen viento de hasta 25 millas por hora. Es posible que este sistema produzca nieve en alturas de 5000 pies. Con la lluvia esperada y el viento, bomberos continuaran a ser cuidadosos alrededor de arboles debilitados por el fuego. Calles resbalosas y erosión pueden que presten peligros adicionales para el personal del incendio y para el público. El sistema de clima encamino evitara que se hagan vuelos este fin de semana porque helicópteros no pueden volar cuando las condiciones son nubladas y ventosas.
Incendio de Riverside: Bomberos están terminando las reparaciones dentro el área del incendio mientras patrullan la línea buscando puntos calientes. La compañía de electricidad Portland General Electric continua a arreglar las líneas eléctricas.

Riverside & Beachie Creek Fires Update – Saturday, October 10, 2020
General Information: Rain and breezy conditions are expected through the weekend which could produce up to
inches of rain by Saturday evening, with an additional inch anticipated by early Monday morning. An inch of rain has already been recorded in the Willamette Valley. Ridgetops and drainages within the fire area could see wind gusts of up to 25 mph. This active system may even produce snow for elevations as low as 5,000 ft. With high amounts of rain expected in conjunction with gusty winds, firefighters continue to be diligent around fire-weakened trees. Slick roads and soil erosion could also present additional hazards for fire personnel and the public. The incoming weather system will likely keep aircraft grounded over the weekend, as helicopters are unable to fly in cloudy and windy conditions.
Riverside Fire: Firefighters are completing fire suppression repair work within the fire area while still patrolling the line for hot spots. Portland General Electric continued working to repair destroyed power lines.
Beachie Creek Fire: Firefighters responded to four more 911 calls for smoke yesterday. Aircraft flew over the area of concentrated heat within the Bull of the Woods Wilderness and reported no significant fire growth.
Evacuations: Current evacuation information for: Marion County is available at www.co.marion.or.us/Alerts?AlertId=83 or by calling 503-588-5032, and for Linn County is available at www.linnsheriff.org/fire_live_updates_sept_2020/ or by calling 541-812-2260.
