the top of the steel posts). Erosion associated with the underburning study (burned in 2001) appears significant in places.  We can also follow soil accumulation above washers and behind charred wood, and pedestal erosion under perched logs.  Slope and other factors will be accounted for by entering all grid points into the GIS.  We will check for hydrophobicity and rilling between grid points; if found, they will be mapped and the volume of eroded soil measured. We think the possibility of shallow or deep-seated slope failures, unless there is an intense storm this winter.  Movement of rebar can be measured if this happens, to quantify this kind of erosion.  Fixed photo points, including 4 m2 top-
