Wildfires are an increasingly alarming phenomenon that affects forests and agroecosystems, generating several cascade effects among which soil erosion is one of the most deleterious.A robust body databased evidence on post-fire sediment yield at watershed scale is, thus, required, especially when dealing with areas where wildfires particularly frequent, such as Mediterranean basin.This study analyzes impact first rains after a large wildfire in terms area, Pisan Mountains, central Italy.Here...
The present work describes a transferability analysis for soil and water bioengineering techniques as an instrument sustainable erosion control in Central South America based on empirical data base from the last decades. In total, 31 case studies Mexico, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Colombia, Ecuador Brazil generated database area where are not commonly used. Transferability Analysis is structured seven steps: (1) Objectives of procedure, (2) Impacts measure, (3) Identification...
In wildfire areas, earth observation data is used for the development of fire-severity maps or vegetation recovery to select post-fire measures erosion control and revegetation. Appropriate indices monitoring vary with type climate zone. This study aimed best using remote sensing classification methods temperate zone in southern Ecuador, as well analyze vegetation’s different fire severity classes after a September 2019. Random forest models were calculated (from Relativized Burn Ratio—RBR)...
Soil and water bioengineering (SWBE) measures in fire-prone areas are essential for erosion mitigation, revegetation, as well protection of settlements against inundations landslides. This study’s aim was to detect erosive at the basin scale SWBE implementation pre- post-fire conditions based on a wildfire event 2019 southern Ecuador. The Revised Universal Loss Equation (RUSLE) used combination with earth observation data fire-induced change behavior by adapting cover management factor...

<p>Wildfires can affect agroforest-ecosystems generating several cascade effects on the soil-water continuum, among which erosion is one of most important. Even so, few field studies analyse post-fire soil at watershed scale, especially in Mediterranean Basin, although here wildfires are particularly frequent.</p><p>The present work analyses impact first rain events following severe wildfire Pisan Mountains, Tuscany region, Italy, with aim to...
