The effects of wildfire frequency on post-fire soil surface water dynamics.
González-Pelayo, Oscar; Prats, Sérgio; van den Elsen, Eric; Malvar, Maruxa; Ritsema, Coen; Bautista, Susana; Keizer, JacobIncreasing wildfire frequency in the Mediterranean Basin could affect future plant-soil–water-dynamics. The capacity of soils to retain water is a key parameter affecting plant post-fire regeneration. Yet, few research has looked at how different soil properties related to water retention is affected by increasing wildfire frequency. This study aimed at understanding the relationship between wildfire frequency,...
Impacts of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) straw mulch on post-fire soil erosion an...
González-Pelayo, Oscar; Prats, Sergio; Vieira, A.M.D.; Vieira, Diana; Maia, Paula; Keizer, JacobRural fires are now a major societal concern across the world, especially where fire regimes have (apparently) intensified in terms of burnt area, intensity and recurrency. Among the indirect fire effects, fire-enhanced runoff and erosion have been an important focus of post-fire land and water management, in particular through emergency stabilization of hillslopes using a range of erosion mitigation measures. ...

Surface and subsurface flow in eucalyptus plantations in north-central Portugal
Boulet, Anne-K.; Prats, Sérgio A.; Malvar, Maruxa C.; González-Pelayo, Oscar; Coelho, Celeste O. A.; Ferreira, Antonio J. D.; Keizer, Jan J.In the Baixo Vouga region of north-central Portugal, forests occupy half of the territory, of which two thirds are Eucalypts plantations. The hydrological implications of this large-scale introduction of eucalypt are unknown and the aim of this exploratory study, realized in the Caramulo Mountains, was to describe overland flow (OLF), subsurface flow (SSF) and stream flow (Q) in a catchment dominated by Eucalyp...
