Wildfire can impact soil-physical and soil-hydraulic properties, with major implications for hydrologic and ecologic response. The durations of these soil impacts are poorly characterized for some forested environments. This dataset sheds light on the first four years of recovery of soil-physical properties of bulk density, loss on ignition (measure of soil organic matter), ground cover, and soil particle size distribution and of soil-hydraulic properties of sorptivity and field-saturated hydraulic conductivity. The dataset also includes a simple infiltration model used to examine infiltration as the sites recover from fire. Sample locations within the 2013 Black Forest Fire study area are: BF1, UTM-Easting (m) 532027, UTM-Northing (m) 4323210, Approximate elevation (± 5m) 2288; BF2, UTM-Easting (m) 532139, UTM-Northing (m) 4323273, Approximate elevation (± 5m) 2288; BF3, UTM-Easting (m) 532015, UTM-Northing (m) 4323416, Approximate elevation (± 5m) 2285; BF4, UTM-Easting (m) 532166, UTM-Northing (m) 4323576, Approximate elevation (± 5m) 2292; BF5, UTM-Easting (m) 532370, UTM-Northing (m) 4323194, Approximate elevation (± 5m) 2293; BF6, UTM-Easting (m) 532712, UTM-Northing (m) 4323283, Approximate elevation (± 5m) 2300; UTM is Universal Transverse Mercator, Zone 13, NAD83 datum, GRS80 geodetic reference system.
