Abstract

This article presents preliminary results from the monitoring of post-wildfire surface runoff and soil erosion in a microcatchment in central Portugal. The data illustrate the different processes governing both the hydrological and erosion response at different spatial scales: micro-plot (< 2 m2), slopes of varying length (40 a 90 m) and for the entire microcatchment (11×104 m2).
