Wildfires have increased in frequency in many ecosystems, with implications for human
health and the environment, including water quality. Increased fire frequency and …

Fire is a prevalent feature of many landscapes and has numerous and complex effects on
geological, hydrological, ecological, and economic systems. In some regions, the frequency …

Current Sierra Nevada forest management is often focused on strategically reducing fuels
without an explicit strategy for ecological restoration across the landscape matrix …

We review the current understandings of the frequency, spatial distributions, mechanisms,
and ecological consequences of fire in riparian zones. Riparian zones are well known for …

Landscape fires show large variability in the amount of biomass or fuel consumed per unit
area burned. Fuel consumption (FC) depends on the biomass available to burn and the …

Mediterranean climate ecosystems are among the most fire-prone in the world; however,
little is known about the effects of fire on mediterranean streams (med-streams). Fire impacts …

Prescribed burning is increasingly used to reduce the wildfire risk, and the need to limit
runoff and erosion after the fire suggests treating burned soils with mulching. To this aim …

Peatlands are important ecosystems for carbon (C) storage, provision of water resources
and biodiversity. UK blanket peats represent 10—15% of those found worldwide. While …

The use of low-severity prescribed fires has been increasingly promoted to reduce the
impacts from high-severity wildfires and maintain ecosystem resilience. However, the effects …

Mercury (Hg) is a chemical element widely present in the Earth's crust. However, its high
toxicity and ability to accumulate in organisms and biomagnify through food chains …
