A detailed knowledge of soil water repellency (SWR) and infiltration capacity soils under different land uses is fundamental importance in Mediterranean areas, since these areas are prone to degradation risks (e.g., erosion, runoff polluting compounds) as a response hydrological processes. The present study evaluates the effects on SWR hydraulic conductivity (SHC) by direct measurements at plot scale three representing (1) intensive agricultural use, (2) abandoned farmland, (3) forest...
Soil respiration is a major carbon pathway sensitive to environmental changes. Using prescribed burnings reduce fuel accumulation and lower risks of large-scale wildfires has recently become more important. Prescribed burning can significantly alter the soil environment, but its effect in practice on not sufficiently understood. We evaluated effects before after (May–July 2016). was conducted two natural pine areas by comparing mixed stand Pinus nigra Arn. ssp. salzmannii with pinaster Ait....
After wildfires, emergency actions and post-fire management are implemented to mitigate fire damage. Salvage logging is a tool often applied burned stands, but despite being forest restore ecosystem functions, its ecological effects remain poorly understood. In the Mediterranean Basin, where land use land-use change bringing about changes in drought periods regimes, optimal treatments should be included adaptive order increase resilience reduce vulnerability. July 2012, mid- high-burn...
Wildfires play a significant role in many different elements of Mediterranean forest ecosystems. In recent years, prescribed fires have started being used more often as fuel reduction tool, and also silvicultural treatment to help the regeneration health improvement stands. Apart from fact that fire may alter microsite conditions, very little is known about impact burning on natural or plant species renewal pine forests. Likewise, knowledge influence seedling predators post-fire still...
El presente trabajo pretende evaluar el efecto de las técnicas restauración post-incendio utilizadas a nivel ladera (acordonado y fajinas) sobre la funcionalidad del suelo, medida ésta partir propiedades físico-químicas microbiológicas contenido nutrientes suelo. Los resultados indican que zonas en se realizaron fajinas presentan unos valores más altos materia orgánica comparación con donde cordones, quemadas sin actuación quemar. Las microbiologías recuperan restauradas son similares los...
Las actuaciones en materia de restauración post-incendio engloban trabajos destinados a minimizar los impactos negativos del fuego, así como la rehabilitación ecológica zona quemada. El suelo y vegetación se ven muy afectados son vulnerables al paso tanto por degradación sufrida causa incendio, procesos erosivos que origina. presente trabajo pretende evaluar el efecto las técnicas utilizadas nivel ladera (acordonado fajinas) tienen sobre recuperación vegetación. Los resultados indican zonas...
