Abstract
To increase the value of range land densely covered by brush, a number of management practices are being employed. One practice, clearing by the use of fire, has raised the question as to its effect on the infiltration capacity of the soil. Application of single‐ring infiltrometers for determining relative infiltration rates of upland soils is discussed. Values of the relative infiltration rates for burned and unburned areas are presented. In all cases the burned soils had substantially higher rates following a fire. One year later the results were similar with one exception.
