Abstract

This study aims to assess the suitability of two empirical erosion models, for mapping the risk of erosion in post-fire situation at slope-scale, based on Geographical Information Systems. It was developed within the scope of EROSFIRE project, which aims to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of field rainfall experiences, to map the risk of erosion, by providing required data for model calibration.
