Excerpt from Fire Damage From Increased Run-Off and Erosion: Angeles National Forest Damages from fires in southern California are frequently of several kinds. Fires destroy structural improvements; they consume forage used by domestic stock and wildlife; they interrupt or.make neces sary the rerouting of traffic while they are burning; they disrupt normal business and recreational uses within the general fire area. By removing the vegetation cover they also change the run - off and erosion characteristics of the watersheds themselves. This change causes delayed and oftentimes hidden, and thus usually uncounted but nonetheless real and far - reaching damage. All these forms of damage must be evaluated to obtain an adequate appraisal of the effects of fire.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
