What is wrong with post-fire soil erosion modelling? A meta-analysis on current approaches, research gaps, and future directions

A. R. Lopes et al.

Summary: In the near future, higher occurrence of wildfires is expected due to climate change, leading to social, environmental, and economic implications. Studies on post-fire soil erosion modeling have increased, but many adaptations lack field validation and model performance assessment.

Water Infiltration after Prescribed Fire and Soil Mulching with Fern in Mediterranean Forests

Bruno Gianmarco Carra et al.

Summary: Prescribed fire is commonly used in Mediterranean forests to reduce wildfire risk, but the hydrological response of soil after fire can vary. Short-term mulching with fern can limit runoff increases, especially in broadleaves forests. However, the effectiveness of fern mulch treatment has not been evaluated extensively in literature. This study found that mulching post-fire can control hydrological effects, especially in broadleaves forests, but caution is needed in conifer forests.

Efficiency of postfire hillslope management strategies: Gaps of knowledge

Manuel Esteban Lucas-Borja

Summary: Fire regimes have changed due to environmental and socioeconomic factors, leading to an increase in the number, frequency, intensity, extension, and severity of fire events. However, there is a lack of available research evaluating the impacts of plant and soil hillslope restoration strategies on burned forest ecosystems, causing uncertainty among land managers. More studies are needed to assess the relative importance of these strategies in returning the structure and functions of forest ecosystems after fire.

Postfire management impacts on soil hydrology

Demetrio Antonio Zema

Summary: This study provides an overview of postfire management techniques at both hillslope and channel scales, analyzing the effectiveness of existing hydrological models in predicting runoff and soil erosion. Adaptation of hydrological models to burned conditions and modeling experiences focusing on postfire management actions are needed for accurate simulation of soil changes due to fire.
