Abstract Information on the main sources supplying deleterious sediment loads to river
systems is needed to improve our understanding of soil erosion processes to better target …

Abstract Knowledge about connectivity and what affects it, through space and time, is
needed for taking appropriate action at the right place and/or time by stakeholders. Various …

Intense rainfall events after severe wildfires can have an impact on soil properties, above all
in the Mediterranean environment. This study seeks to examine the immediate impact and …

Purpose Soil loss is considered one of the most important consequences of land
degradation as it affects the production of agricultural and forested areas, and the natural …

Flash floods and debris flows are iconic hazards in mountainous regions with steep relief,
high rainfall intensities, rapid snowmelt events, and abundant sediments. The cuesta …

Forest fires and post-fire practices influence the hydrological response of the soil in terms of
runoff and sediment connectivity (SC). In this study, the ability of four indices (IC-Borselli, IC …

Land degradation and water resources pollution caused by catastrophic wildfires is of
growing concern in fire‐prone regions. Studies on the effects of wildfire on hydrology and …

Purpose Forests play a key role in providing protection against soil erosion. Particularly, the
role of vertical forest structure in increasing rainfall interception capacity is crucial for …

Purpose Significant changes in the runoff and sediment load have been detected in many
catchments of the Loess Plateau. These changes are expected to be influenced by the …

After a wildfire, total or partial removal of vegetal biomass and changes in physicochemical
soil properties lead to an increase in overland flow and sediment yield. Eventual damage …
