Wildfire and salvage harvesting effects on runoff generation and sediment exports from radiata pine and eucalypt forest catchments, south-eastern Australia

▶ Large increase in runoff from burnt and salvage harvested radiata pine forest catchment. ▶ Post-fire and harvest sediment exports were 71-320 times burnt and unharvested eucalypt catchments. ▶ High intensity, short duration summer storms dominated sediment exports. ▶ Highest hillslope runoff velocities occurred in log drag-lines formed by cable harvesting. ▶ Soil water repellency was more extensive in the burnt and harvested catchment.
