Following the major wildfires that affected the Central region of Portugal in 2017, a watercourse monitoring campaign was initiated in November 2017 to determine changes in water proprieties in a post-fire scenario, and establish the persistence of these effects. In the Mondego River basin, 10 points, from 6 watercourses, were chosen based on the size of the watershed and the percentage of burnt area. Monthly w...
This study describes and interprets the evolution of grain-size distribution of sediment yields generated in an experimental soil flume subjected to downstream and upstream moving rain storms. Results of laboratory experiments show that downstream moving storms cause more soil loss than do upstream moving storms. The pattern of sediment grain-size evolution in time during a runoff event exhibits a clear depende...
