A consequence of the forest fires is the increasing erosion of the top soil, where the few existing nutrients of most of the Portuguese soils are located. In a climate of Mediterranean features, such as the Portuguese, the maximum sediment export occurs normally in the first 4-6 months after the fire. The objective of the project SoilProtec (Emergency measures for soil protection after forest fires) is to test low cost emergency measures, to be applied in soil protection, immediately after forest fires of low/medium severity in stands of Pinus pinaster.Downloads
