Effects of wildfire, torrential rainfall and straw mulching on the physicochemi...
Francos, Marcos; Vieira, António; Bento-Gonçalves, António; Úbeda, Xavier; Zema, Demetrio Antonio; Lucas-Borja, Manuel EstebanWith the effects of fire, weather and post-fire management on soil properties having been studied mostly individually, there is little understanding of the combined effects of wildfire, heavy storm and straw mulching. In this study, we evaluated the changes in soil properties following a high-severity fire, post-fire soil treatment using straw mulch, and a torrential storm in a forest stand in north-western Por...
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (Uavs) for estimating soil volumes retained...
Rodrigues, Bruno Timóteo [UNESP]; Zema, Demetrio Antonio; González-Romero, Javier; Rodrigues, Mikael Timóteo; Campos, Sérgio [UNESP]; Galletero, PabloMade available in DSpace on 2021-06-25T11:11:24Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-03-01; Check dams act as soil collectors during floods, thus retaining a large amount of sediments. The estimation of the soil volumes stored behind a check dam is a key activity for a proper design of these control works and for evaluation of soil delivery after restoration measures at watershed level. Severa...
Current Wildland Fire Patterns and Challenges in Europe: A Synthesis of Nationa...
Fernandez-Anez, Nieves; Krasovskiy, Andrey; Müller, Mortimer; Vacik, Harald; Baetens, Jan; Hukić, Emira; Kapovic Solomun, Marijana; Atanassova, IrenaChanges in climate, land use, and land management impact the occurrence and severity of wildland fires in many parts of the world. This is particularly evident in Europe, where ongoing changes in land use have strongly modified fire patterns over the last decades. Although satellite data by the European Forest Fire Information System provide large-scale wildland fire statistics across European countries, there ...

Improvement of seasonal runoff and soil loss predictions by the MMF (Morgan-Mor...
Zema, Demetrio Antonio; Nunes, João Pedro; Lucas-Borja, Manuel EstebanThe negative hydrological effects of wildfire are very difficult to predict in Mediterranean forest ecosystems, due the intrinsic climate and soil characteristics of these areas. Among the hydrological models simulating surface runoff and soil erosion in these environmental contexts, the semi-empirical Morgan-Morgan-Finney (MMF) model can ensure the representation of the main physical processes, while offering ...
Impacts of land-use and climate changes on surface runoff in a tropical forest ...
Lucas-Borja, Manuel Esteban; Carrà, Bruno Gianmarco; Nunes, João Pedro; Bernard-Jannin, Léonard; Zema, Demetrio Antonio; Zimbone, Santo MarcelloSurface runoff generation capacity can be modified by land-use and climate changes. Annual runoff volumes have been evaluated in a small watershed of tropical forest (Brazil), using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. Firstly, the accuracy of SWAT in runoff predictions has been assessed by default input parameters and improved by automatic calibration, using 20-year observations. Then, the hydrolog...
Effects of land use and sampling distance on water quality in tropical headwate...
Ferreira Marmontel, Caio Vinicius [UNESP]; Lucas-Borja, Manuel Esteban; Rodrigues, Valdemir Antonio [UNESP]; Zema, Demetrio AntonioMade available in DSpace on 2018-12-11T17:35:07Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2018-05-01; The studies targeted to hydrology and water quality are scarce in tropical headwater streams. In these delicate ecosystems the comprehension of water quality can constitute a challenge, because the impact of land uses on stream dynamics is particularly severe in tropical areas. To fill this gap, an eval...
Simulating the hydrological response of a small tropical forest watershed (Mata...
Zema, Demetrio Antonio; Lucas-Borja, Manuel Esteban; Carrà, Bruno Gianmarco; Denisi, Pietro; Rodrigues, Valdemir Antonio [UNESP]; Ranzini, MauricioMade available in DSpace on 2018-12-11T17:19:46Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2018-09-15; Given the intrinsic hydrological cycle made of large input of water vapour and intense precipitation producing large volumes of water and sediment, modelling runoff and water losses in humid tropical watersheds is important for forest and water resources management. For instance, reliable simulations of...

Hudson, Lawrence N; Newbold, Tim; Contu, Sara; Hill, Samantha L L; Lysenko, Igor; De Palma, Adriana; Phillips, Helen R P; Alhusseini, Tamera IThe PREDICTS project-Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems (www.predicts.org.uk)-has collated from published studies a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples of biodiversity from multiple sites that differ in the nature or intensity of human impacts relating to land use. We have used this evidence base to develop global and regional statistical mod...

Hudson, Lawrence N.; Newbold, Tim; Contu, Sara; Hill, Samantha L. L.; Lysenko, Igor; De Palma, Adriana; Phillips, Helen R. P.; Senior, Rebecca A.Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global databases of species' threat status or population time series are dominated by charismatic species. The collation of datasets with broad taxonomic and biogeographic extents, and that support computation of a range of biodivers...
