Annotated bibliography of 64 papers reviewed and summarized in a conceptual framework to assess post-wildfire water quality

We conducted a scoping review to assess the current state of the science and knowledge gaps of post-wildfire water quality. A scoping review is a rapid, systematic approach that is more superficial compared to traditional reviews, and can be considered a preliminary study that informs future in-depth reviews, meta-analyses, or modelling efforts (Robinne et al., 2020). We developed a driver, factor, stressor, effect (DFSE) conceptual framework to evaluate information gathered from the review. Drivers are categorical variables representing a natural or anthropogenic process or characteristic driving post-fire effects. Factors are measurable variables or properties of a driver used to explain changes in water quality, quantity, or ecological impacts. Stressors represent physical and/or chemical changes of hydrologic, geomorphologic, or geochemical environments and indicate the direction of change in the system. Effects are measurable impacts on water quality or ecological health. This data release contains an annotated bibliography of references included in the review and attribute assignments for each element of the DFSE framework.
