Short-Term Effects of Wildfire Ash on Water Quality Parameters: A Laboratory Approach

Darlan Q. Brito et al.

Summary: This study examined the impact of ash from large-scale wildfires in Brazilian tropical savannahs on water parameters, discovering that water-extractable elements from ash significantly alter water quality parameters, leading to elevated total dissolved solids and conductivity levels, increased pH, and decreased dissolved oxygen concentration.

Effectiveness of post-fire soil erosion mitigation treatments: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Antonio Girona-Garcia et al.

Summary: Wildfires are a major cause of soil erosion and land degradation, with their impacts expected to increase due to climate change and land use alterations. Mitigation treatments, such as cover and barrier measures, have been found to significantly reduce post-fire soil erosion. Among the different cover treatments, straw and wood mulches are more effective than hydromulch in mitigating erosion.
