HESOM-Modeling the Hydrologic and Erosion responses following wildfires and its mitigation.
Wildfires can lead to considerable changes in geo-morphological and hydrological processes. Researchers have shown strong and sometimes extreme responses in post-fire runoff and soil erosion, especially during the earlier stages o ...

Effects of contour bunds and organic amendments on plant survival and erosion in recently burned areas
Wildfires create a range of problems connected to the complete loss of aboveground biomass and vegetation cover.The resulting uncovered soil is extremely susceptible to erosion and microclimatic conditions that could help with the ...

Investigating Carbon fluxes with time since wildfire
Wildfires affect forest carbon pools directly, through combustion/heating processes, and indirectly, by changing abiotic (e.g. soil temperature) and biotic (e.g. leaf area index) conditions. The indirect impacts appear to be impor ...

Post-fire wind erosion in the coastal zone of north-central Portugal
As widely known, 2017 was a particularly dramatic year in Portugal in terms of fatalities by wildfires. Also the total area burnt was exceptional in 2017, well-exceeding those of the record years of 2003 and 2005. This included a ...

Linear ecological focus areas to limit stream contamination from intensive croplands
Description: Problem context Intensive agricultural areas often contaminate nearby steams with nutrients coming from fertilizer use. However, these areas often have Ecological Focus Areas (EFA) with vegetation, such as field mar ...

Sludge microplastics decay through earthworms
Project description. Microplastics on terrestrial environments have become a big concern in the last years due to the effects that they produce to the soil invertebrates. Previous studies have shown that plastic residues are pre ...

Microplastics along the terrestrial food web. The case of cities and natural reserves in the Netherlands.
Project Description Nevertheless microplastics characteristics and distribution are well-known in the aquatic systems. In the terrestrial environments it is not the case. Previous studies have shown that the microplastics can b ...

Unraveling fuel management effectiveness in mitigating wildfire hazard
The occurrence of wildfire events constitutes one of the most devastating natural disasters, with important environment and socio-economic consequences. The Mediterranean region is strongly affected by recurring wildfires, and on ...

Physical, chemical and biological glyphosate and AMPA degradation from soils
Project Description Wide spectrum herbicides as glyphosate are widely used in the Netherlands. In soils, pesticides are accumulated even after several years of application. After monitoring, we found middle to high concentratio ...

Effect of Glyphosate and Boscalid(Pesticides) on soil organisms
Project Description Wide spectrum pesticides as glyphosate and boscalid are widely used in the Netherlands. In soils, pesticides are accumulated even after several years of application. After monitoring, we found middle to high ...
