Wildfires in Europe: Burned soils require attention

D. C. S. Vieira et al.

Summary: Millions of hectares of land are affected by wildfires annually, leading to disruptions in ecosystem functioning and off-site impacts such as water contamination. This study assesses the soil erosion caused by the 2017 wildfires in Europe and explores the potential for vegetation recovery and erosion mitigation. The findings reveal a significant increase in soil losses in the first year post-fire, with an estimated 44 million Mg of additional soil losses over five years and partial recovery in 46% of the burned area. Post-fire mitigation measures can reduce soil erosion to background levels by the fourth year. The insights from this study can inform policies aimed at reducing land degradation, aligning with existing strategies in the European Union.

A global synthesis of fire effects on ecosystem services of forests and woodlands

Jose V. Roces-Diaz et al.

Summary: Global analysis shows that fires have positive impacts on water provision and negative impacts on water quality, climate regulation, and erosion control. There is no overall significant effect on food provision and soil fertility. However, data is limited and future research should focus on underrepresented regions and biomes.

Prediction, validation, and uncertainties of a nation-wide post-fire soil erosion risk assessment in Portugal

J. Parente et al.

Summary: The aim of this study is to create a soil erosion risk map for forest and shrubland areas in mainland Portugal after wildfires, and evaluate its reliability. By using an erosion model and validation methods, high-risk areas of post-fire soil erosion were identified. These outcomes provide useful tools for forest managers to make decisions on emergency stabilization after wildfires.

WEPPcloud: An online watershed-scale hydrologic modeling tool. Part II. Model performance assessment and applications to forest management and wildfires

Mariana Dobre et al.

Summary: This study presents the applications of the online interface WEPPcloud for the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model as a pre- and post-disturbance management tool to model various forested watersheds in the western U.S. The simulated streamflow, sediment, and phosphorus were compared to observations at USGS gauging stations, and the accuracy of the online interface was assessed. The results showed satisfactory agreement between modeled and observed values, indicating the usefulness of WEPPcloud in understanding the effects of forest management and wildfires on water quality and quantity.

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.

Scientists' warning on extreme wildfire risks to water supply

Francois-Nicolas Robinne et al.

Summary: The text discusses the devastating wildfires that occurred in multiple regions around the world in 2020, highlighting the connection between wildfires and water resources. It emphasizes the need for proactive risk governance to protect water security and advocates for investments in both natural and built infrastructure to reduce risks. Additionally, it proposes combining modern data analytics with existing tools to leverage decades worth of knowledge on post-fire hydrology for water and land managers worldwide.

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.
