Hydrological response of wildfire affected Mediterranean watersheds Open
Wildfires significantly alter the hydrological characteristics of forested catchments, including those in Mediterranean environments that are typically adapted to fire disturbance. These changes can lead to increased hydraulic and hydrogeo…

Soil and Water Bioengineering in Fire-Prone Lands: Detecting Erosive Areas Using RUSLE and Remote Sensing Methods Open
Soil and water bioengineering (SWBE) measures in fire-prone areas are essential for erosion mitigation, revegetation, as well as protection of settlements against inundations and landslides. This study’s aim was to detect erosive areas at …

Analyzing Fire Severity and Post-Fire Vegetation Recovery in the Temperate Andes Using Earth Observation Data Open
In wildfire areas, earth observation data is used for the development of fire-severity maps or vegetation recovery to select post-fire measures for erosion control and revegetation. Appropriate vegetation indices for post-fire monitoring v…

Post-fire erosion and sediment yield in a Mediterranean forest catchment in Italy Open
Wildfires are an increasingly alarming phenomenon that affects forests and agro-ecosystems, generating several cascade effects among which soil erosion is one of the most deleterious. A robust body of data-based evidence on post-fire soil …

Wildfire impacts on soil hydrological properties and erosion in stony and shallow soils of a forested Mediterranean catchment in Italy Open
<p>Wildfires can affect agroforest-ecosystems generating several cascade effects on the soil-water continuum, among which erosion is one of the most important. Even so, few field studies analyse post-fire soil erosion at watershed sc…

Soil and Water Bioengineering Applications in Central and South America: A Transferability Analysis Open
The present work describes a transferability analysis for soil and water bioengineering techniques as an instrument for sustainable erosion control in Central and South America based on an empirical data base from the last decades. In tota…
