As wildfires are projected to increase in frequency and severity, there is a growing interest in understanding river resilience to the wildfire disturbance cascade. Numerous 3rd-order mountain catchments within the Cache la Poudre (Poudre) River basin in the Colorado Front Range, USA burned severely and extensively during the 2020 Cameron Peak fire. Many of these catchments experienced debris flows and flash floods triggered by convective storms after the fire. The downstream effects of the debris flow sediment varied along a continuum from attenuated and largely contained within the catchment, through contributing to a pre-existing debris fan at the catchment outlet, to releasing substantial volumes of water and sediment to the Poudre River. I conceptualize these catchments as exhibiting decreasing resilience to post-fire disturbance along the continuum described above based on the geomorphic evidence of relative sediment export. The characteristics affecting resilience and magnitude of response to disturbance span multiple spatial scales from the catchment to stream corridor reaches hundreds of meters in length. I conceptualize characteristics on different spatial scales as driving or resisting response to disturbance and therefore impacting the resilience outcome of the catchment. As the magnitude of resisting characteristics increases at the catchment, inter- and intra- reach scales, I hypothesize that a catchment will be more resilient to the wildfire disturbance cascade. At the catchment scale I consider geomorphic, burn, vegetation, and precipitation characteristics. I conducted longitudinally continuous surveys to measure reach-scale characteristics within each study catchment. I focus on the reach-scale geomorphic, vegetation, and burn characteristics, with a particular focus on elements that introduce inter- and intra-reach spatial heterogeneity including channel planform, beaver-modified topography, the distribution of channel and floodplain logjam distribution density, and the floodplain width/channel width ratio for the population of reaches within each catchment. The floods observed at the study catchments illustrate fire lifting the elevation above which rainfall-induced flooding occurs due to the efficient conveyance of water from hillslopes to channels after wildfire. Results suggest that inter- and intra-reach spatial heterogeneity are better descriptors of resilience than catchment-scale characteristics: resilience is associated with greater longitudinal variations in floodplain/channel width and more reaches with wide floodplains, low channel gradients, beaver-modified topography, and multi-stem deciduous vegetation.
