As any model of real-world phenomena, soil erosion models must be tested against
empirical evidence to have their performance evaluated. This is critical to develop …

Wildfires have short-and long-term impacts on the geoenvironment, including the changes to
biogeochemical and mechanical properties of soils, landfill stability, surface-and …

Wildfires are a recurrent and increasing threat in mainland Portugal, where over 4.5 million
hectares of forests and scrublands have burned over the last 38 years. These fire-affected …

Wildfires have become a recurrent threat for many Mediterranean forest ecosystems. The
characteristics of the Mediterranean climate, with its warm and dry summers and mild and …

The accelerated erosion that occurs after wildfire in forest ecosystems is a major factor
affecting the sustainability of these environments. Soil erosion prediction models are crucial …

In the near future, a higher occurrence of wildfires is expected due to climate change,
carrying social, environmental, and economic implications. Such impacts are often …

Forest fires and post-fire management practices (PFMP) cause changes in the hydrological
response of a hillslope. This study evaluates the effect of log erosion barriers (LB) and Easy …

The negative hydrological effects of wildfire are very difficult to predict in Mediterranean
forest ecosystems, due the intrinsic climate and soil characteristics of these areas. Among …

Accurate predictions of surface runoff and soil erosion after wildfire help land managers
adopt the most suitable actions to mitigate post-fire land degradation and rehabilitation …

Forest fires have intensified in the Mediterranean area over the last decades, becoming
increasingly destructive. Catastrophic wildfires, such as the ones that occurred on the …
