Wildfires have increased in frequency in many ecosystems, with implications for human
health and the environment, including water quality. Increased fire frequency and …

Forests are essential in regulating global carbon and water cycles and are critical in
mitigating climate change. Water-use efficiency, defined by the ratio of plant productivity per …

Severe wildfire is altering the natural and the built environment and posing risks to
environmental and societal health and well-being, including cascading impacts to water …

High-latitude forests of North America are characterized by their natural dependence on
large and severe wildfires. However, these wildfires also pose a range of social, economic …

Forests are critical to water resources, but high evapotranspiration (ET) can reduce water
yield. Thinning and prescribed fire reduce forest density and often reduce ET, promoting …

Chilean territory is recurrently affected by severe wildfires, which drastically reduce the forest
cover and promote runoff, soil erosion and slope instabilities. To understand how the …

Wildfire increases the magnitude of runoff in catchments, leading to the degradation of
ecosystems, risk to infrastructure, and loss of life. The Labor Day Fires of 2020 provided an …

Torest landscapes generate 57 percent of runoff worldwide and supply water to more than 4
billion people (Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, 2005). As the world population continues …

Highlights This study calibrated a hydrologic model for pre-and postfire conditions and
simulated postfire hydrologic response. Postfire rainfall-runoff was more influenced by …

Highlights After wildfire, actual evapotranspiration (ETa) in four subalpine areas decreased
proportionally to burn severity. High-severity burn areas maintained the highest ETa before …
