The aim of this work was to study the impact of fuel load on hydrological properties of a sandy loam soil burnt under laboratory conditions. To do this, undisturbed soil samples were collected and transported to the laboratory where they were burnt after applying different fuel loads (pine needles). The infiltration rate and soil sorptivity sharply reduced when fuel load increased.
