| dc.description.abstract | From 9 March 2015, a wildfire burned an area of 25.7 km2, or approximately half of
the Jonkershoek catchment (Western Cape, South Africa), over the course of 3 days.
During this period, large areas of fynbos and commercial forest plantations were
razed, and rocks, including boulders and smaller rocks, were exposed to high temperatures.
While a substantial body of work has been carried out to investigate the
effects of wildfire on landscape development, less is known about the effect of wildfire
on rock weathering within a landscape. Previous studies have reported the overall
effect of wildfire on rock deterioration, but the effect of intra-fire temperature
differences associated with heat behaviour on a slope has not been sufficiently
addressed. In this study we investigate the effects of topography and proximity to
moisture on rock deterioration processes. | en_US |
