applied to reduce soil and water losses in different contexts, such as agricultural lands, fire …

Research into post-wildfire effects began in the United States more than 70years ago and
only later extended to other parts of the world. Post-wildfire responses are typically transient …

Fire transforms fuels (ie biomass, necromass, soil organic matter) into materials with different
chemical and physical properties. One of these materials is ash, which is the particulate …

Wildfires increased dramatically in frequency and extent in the European Mediterranean
region from the 1960s, aided by a general warming and drying trend, but driven primarily by …

Conspectus Wildfires are a natural part of most forest ecosystems, but due to changing

It has been widely known that vegetation restoration plays a vital importance in controlling
surface runoff and soil erosion. The most of soil erosion were caused by erosive rainstorm …

This review summarizes the effects of vegetation on runoff and soil loss in three dimensions:
vertical vegetation structures (aboveground vegetation cover, surface litter layer and …

Few studies have attempted to isolate the various factors that may cause the observed
increases in peak flows and erosion after high‐severity wildfires. This study evaluated the …

It is clear that, in some climates, fires are a natural phenomenon, they have occurred for
millennia and plants have revealed the capacity to cope with them (Pausas et al., 2008). It is …
