*2014-10-05**NRMI: NATURAL RESOURCE MONITORING ITEMS OF INTEREST*

This Issue:*//**/Wildfire Impacts on Soils after Beetle Kill/*and Some 
Other Good Things.

*WILDFIRE IMPACTS ON SOILS AFTER BEETLE KILL – *In August a couple of 
list members expressed and interest in the impacts of wildfire on soils 
after beetle kill and logging. Here are some sites that may be of 
interest. Also see _2014-04-06 NRMI - */Bark Beetles and Logging/* and 
some other good things._
