Transition of Land Cover Characteristics at Wild-Fired Watershed

Abstract:

Wild fires in a mountain area cause severe runoff. The runoff causes secondary mal-effects such as soil erosion and environmental contamination. Korea had suffered from serious soil yield problems at Imha reservoir in 2003. The muddy flow in the reservoir lasts for an years at that time and the water resources problem had prevailed around the watershed. But there was no reliable method in predicting the amount of soil yield and developing count measures against soil erosion. The goal of this research is to find the sustainability transition of land cover characteristics in a wild-fired watershed. For the success of this research, experimental watershed which had suffered from wild-fires was operated last five years. With the collected field data, the transition of land cover characteristics of watershed was analyzed. It was found that the land cover factor was increased about one hundred times at first year after the wild fire. Then it decreases constantly until it remains stable condition which is reached at fourth year after wild-fires.
