TLDR
In this paper, the authors quantify sediment yields from post-fire debris flows in southeast Australian highlands and model the effects of landscape attributes on debris flow susceptibility, concluding that fire regimes are an important control on sediment delivery from these forests.About:

TL;DR: It is shown that NCS can provide over one-third of the cost-effective climate mitigation needed between now and 2030 to stabilize warming to below 2 °C.

Prediction of spatially explicit rainfall intensity–duration thresholds for post-fire debris-flow generation in the western United States
Dennis M. Staley,Jacquelyn A. Negri,Jason W. Kean,Jayme L. Laber,Anne C. Tillery,Ann Youberg +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new, fully predictive approach that utilizes rainfall, hydrologic response, and readily available geospatial data to predict rainfall intensity-duration thresholds for debris-flow generation in recently burned locations in the western United States.

Model simulations of flood and debris flow timing in steep catchments after wildfire
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the potential for using process-based rainfall-runoff models to simulate the timing of water flow and runoff-generated debris flows in recently burned areas, and two different spatially distributed hydrologic models with differing levels of complexity were used: the full shallow water equations and the kinematic wave approximation.

TL;DR: Why extreme chronic disequilibrium of ecosystem function is likely to increase dramatically across the globe, creating no-analog conditions that challenge adaptation is explained and novel mechanistic theory is presented that combines models for disturbance mortality and metabolic scaling to link size-dependent plant mortality to changes in ecosystem stocks and fluxes.

Wildfires in Grasslands and Shrublands: A Review of Impacts on Vegetation, Soil, Hydrology, and Geomorphology
TL;DR: In this paper, the main impacts of wildfire on plant communities (e.g., water repellency (hydrophobicity), aggregation and structure stability, and contents of organic carbon and nutrients), and surface processes were assessed, and the effects of livestock grazing on the functioning of post-fire grasslands and shrublands.

Quantitative analysis of watershed geomorphology
TL;DR: In this paper, two general classes of descriptive numbers are presented: linear scale measurements and dimensionless numbers, usually angles or ratios of length measures, whereby the shapes of analogous units can be compared irrespective of scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
The physics of debris flows
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model that satisfies most of these criteria uses depth-averaged equations of motion patterned after those of the Savage-Hutter theory for gravity-driven flow of dry granular masses but generalized to include the effects of viscous pore fluid with varying pressure.

An Introduction to Logistic Regression Analysis and Reporting
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of guidelines for what to expect in an article using logistic regression techniques are discussed. But they do not cover the application of logistic methods to a data set in testing a research hypothesis.
