- <p id="p0005">Rill erosion from snowmelt was simulated in experiments in the Lake Tahoe Basin.p>
- •
- <p id="p0010">Masticated fuel and duff over the lower 25% of the plots reduced erosion by 97%.p>
- •
- <p id="p0015">Even distribution of 25% of original masticated fuel load reduced erosion by 44%.p>
- •
- <p id="p0020">Erosion was inconsequential when ⩽35% of plot area was burned using prescribed fire.p>
- •
- <p id="p0025">Results suggest fuel patchiness reduces erosion while simultaneously reducing potential for fire spread.p>
