From Part C introduction: Chapters 8 through 11 in this part of the volume deal with special topics that were not considered in the original 'Rainbow Series' on the effects of fire on soils (Wells and others 1979) and water (Tiedemann and others 1979). These topics include wetlands and riparian ecosystems, fire effects models and soil erosion models, the Burned Area Emergency Rehabilitation (BAER) program with its various treatments and results, and information sources such as databases, Web sites, journals, books, and so forth. Part C concludes with the References section and an appendix of glossary terms.
