The objective of this project was to assess the efficacy of post-fire ground treatment in mitigating erosion and runoff on soil slopes subjected to wildfires. This objective was achieved through physical slope-model experiments and discrete element method (DEM) modeling. Model simulations indicated that an increase in the root network inhibited particles dislodgement and decreased downslope movement of particles.
