Once the KINEROS2 model is complete
the user can define how the results are viewed. KINEROS2 can display the
results based on percent change or absolute values. For the purposes of this
project sediment yield results were displayed in percent change because the
model was not calibrated. The percent change results are useful to understand
overall watershed response. The largest percent change in sediment yield
between the pre-fire (2001) and post fire soil burn severity (2003) occurred in
the area that was predominantly loam and had higher slope. The sediment yield
results for the three scenario periods are in absolute values, however it is
important to keep in mind that the model is not calibrated, therefore the
overall trend of the data is what should be considered.
