This study will quantify the downward heat pulse for an assortment of pile sizes and conditions typical of Tahoe Basin pile burning. We will monitor the resilience of key soil physical, chemical, and biological properties for a two-year period following pile burning, as well as quantify nitrate and phosphate movement in surface and subsurface runoff.
