Sandy soils are widely distributed across the world. Due to the growing global population
and urbanization, these soils are increasingly used to provide food, feed, fiber, energy, and …

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

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 …

Sandy soils cover approximately 900 million ha worldwide particularly in arid and semi-arid
regions. There are extensive areas of sandy soils under cultivation, but the soil fertility is …

Mediterranean soils under heathland are often shallow, with low capacity for water storage,
and a high risk of erosion. In this context, recurrent wildfires can negatively affect their …

Abstract The 2000 Valley Complex wildfire burned in steep montane forests with ash cap
soils in western Montana, USA. The effects of high soil burn severity on forest soil hydrologic …

Despite ample literature, the influence of the individual soil properties and covers on the
hydrological response of burned soils of forests has not clearly identified. A clear …

The hydrological response of forest soil in the Mediterranean environment is characterised
by high runoff and erosion rates, mainly due to low infiltration and high repellency of soils …

A field study was conducted in order to study the effects of different wildfire severities on [1]
soil organic matter content,[2] soil water repellency, and [3] aggregate stability;[4] the …

Given its singular properties and location, forest floor (litter+ duff) is a key factor in
hydrological processes. Water infiltration research was carried out for the present study in …
