... Over multidecadal timescales, watersheds can experience multiple wildfires as well as a variety of storms. This can result in floods influenced by and ranging along the "fire continuum"-a concept that emerges from wildland fire science and management that refers to a continuum from pre-wildfire fuel treatments to seasonal wildfire planning to post-wildfire rehabilitation (Hood et al., 2020). We borrowed this idea and defined "fire continuum FFA" herein as a concept of derived flood frequency that accounts for the range of possible flood responses to a continuum of watershed conditions, from pre-wildfire to abrupt perturbation due to wildfire to post-wildfire recovery ( Figure 1). ...
