Post-fire temporal trends in soil-physical and -hydraulic properties and simulated runoff generation: Insights from different burn severities in the 2013 Black Forest Fire, CO, USA

Brian A. Ebel et al.

Summary: Burn severity has a significant impact on soil-hydraulic properties after wildfires, influencing soil-physical properties and ground cover composition. However, the trends in soil-hydraulic properties were found to be less affected by initial burn severity, highlighting the complex relationships between burn severity, soil properties, and infiltration models.

Assessment of the WRF-Hydro uncoupled hydro-meteorological model on flashy watersheds of the Grande Terre tropical island of New Caledonia (South-West Pacific)

Arnaud Cerbelaud et al.

Summary: This study utilized a distributed hydrological approach to investigate the effects of projected precipitation reduction and land cover variability on New Caledonia. The WRF-Hydro model, calibrated using three flash-flood events, showed good performance in simulating runoff coefficients and water balance components. The study also revealed the significant impact of rainfall interpolation methods on soil moisture and water distribution, leading to a better understanding of watershed behavior and revised infiltration properties.

Hydrological regimes in a tropical valley of New Caledonia (SW Pacific): Impacts of wildfires and invasive fauna

Caroline Marie Clemence Tramier et al.

Summary: In New Caledonia, wildfires and invasive mammals like deer and wild pigs are major factors in land degradation. The study assessed the hydrological characteristics of forest, savannah, and healthy forest land surfaces, revealing significant differences in water balance among the three types of areas. The findings suggest that water exfiltration in degraded forest areas can lead to increased erosion and further degradation, while savannahs play a role in transferring rainwater downstream to forests.

Comparison of macroinvertebrate assemblages in a stream before and after fine sedimentation by deer-induced forest floor degradation

Hikaru Nakagawa

Summary: The increasing population of Japan's Sika deer has led to forest floor degradation, impacting river ecosystems. Fine sedimentation infiltration has altered habitat characteristics, reducing macroinvertebrate abundance and taxonomic diversity. Shifts in macroinvertebrate dominance post-fine sedimentation are influenced by habitat preferences and predator-prey dynamics.
