Soils are an important natural capital and can be negatively affected by high severity fires.
The capacity of soil to recover from the degradation caused by fire disturbance depends on …

Post-fire hydrologic research typically focuses on the first few years after a wildfire, leading
to substantial uncertainty regarding the longevity of impacts. The time needed for hydrologic …

Wildfires are prevalent in grasslands and shrublands. The objective of this study is to
provide land managers with a general overview, by assessing the main impacts of wildfire …

Wildfire is a growing concern as climate shifts. The hydrologic effects of wildfire, which
include elevated hazards and changes in water quantity and quality, are increasingly …

Water crises—defined as significant declines in water quality and quantity—top the global
risks list compiled by the World Economic Forum (2015) that have the greatest potential …

Management of water resources in the Murray-Darling Basin has historically focussed on
water security and the allocation of water for users with competing needs. This focus was …

Fire can create, strengthen or destroy soil water repellency, with potential implications for
soil infiltration, surface runoff and erosion. Laboratory studies suggest fire-induced changes …

Debris flows are an important erosion process in wildfire-prone landscapes. Predicting their
frequency and magnitude can therefore be critical for quantifying risk to infrastructure …

Field studies that investigate sediment transport between debris‐flow‐producing
headwaters and rivers are uncommon, particularly in forested settings, where debris flows …

Moderate to high severity wildfire can abruptly alter watershed properties and enhance
extreme hydrologic responses such as debris flows and floods. The compounding effects of …
