	abstract = {Erosion following fire has the potential to affect water quality, alter soil profiles and detrimentally affect human infrastructure. There is a clear need for environmental assessments to have regard for erosion concerns from prescribed burning. This study focussed on 10 prescribed burns conducted in the Southern Mount Lofty Ranges. Generalised additive modelling was used to determine the main significant environmental variables influencing the presence of sediment movement at 505 field-assessed sites. Sediment movement after the 10 prescribed burns was minor. Fire severity was a highly significant environmental determinant for the presence of sediment movement after prescribed burning. To predict erosion concerns, a suite of environmental variables is more reliable than focusing solely on slope steepness, as occurred before this study. These results indicate that erosion assessments need to consider a range of environmental variables to assess potential erosion and that land managers and scientists need to incorporate spatial sampling designs into erosion assessments.},

	address = {Banf, Canada},
	abstract = {Successful placement of sediment traps requires an understanding of how hillslope morphology
influences erosion. Following the 2007 Mount Bold wildfire, in South Australia, a 1 in 5 year rainfall event
resulted in the failure of many sediment traps due to substantial sediment movement within the reservoir reserve.
This study assesses how hillslope morphology can influence post-fire surface erosion and the subsequent
appropriate placement of sediment traps. Erosion pins and sediment traps were used at five different sites to
measure hillslope surface change and trapped sediment volumes. Terrestrial laser scanning was used to model
surface change where slope gradients are 1:2 or greater. Surface change was assessed in relation to slope
gradient, slope length, cross-slope curvature, hillslope position and fire severity. The results suggested a
threshold for substantial increased sediment yield at slope gradients of 1:2. The findings also suggested that
concave cross-slope curvatures were associated with significantly larger amounts of sediment movement.},
