Short summary
This study investigated the hydrologic responses to wildfires in mountainous regions using a watershed model. The results indicate that while at the watershed outlet the changes in hydrologic responses may not be significant, at sub-watersheds with high burn intensity runoff increase up to 75 % was observed after the wildfire. Also, the chance of more severe floods was increased. The results have important implications for post-wildfire water resource planning and precautions for flash floods.
