La red temática FUEGORED reúne cerca de un centenar de investigadores de todo el Estado Español que aportan la experiencia de dos décadas de trabajo científico y técnico en zonas afectadas por incendios forestales. También colaboran con FuegoRed varios investigadores extranjeros. Este es un proyecto que pretende revisar el conocimiento científico desarrollado hasta la actualidad, y discutir y consensuar la evolución futura de la investigación científica en torno a los efectos de los incendios forestales sobre los suelos. El grupo investigador está compuesto por los nombres más relevantes de la ciencia española en el tema tratado, y por jóvenes valores, que en estos momentos desarrollan las líneas de investigación más novedosas.
The Erosfire team is happy to announce the launching of the new Erosfire website! With more interactive possibilities and a document system this website is up to date for Web 2.0.
After quite some time of testing and preparing the website, finally the light can be turned on 'green' for the launching of this new website. The website is a professional website with many feature for interactivity. As a so-called Content Management System (CMS) based on Joomla this website is an ideal solution for an ever-growing website.
Welcome to the website of the Erosfire project. This website gives a clear overview of the Erosfire project and all fire related studies.
The Erosfire project studies the post-fire effects on soil erosion, started with the aim to develop a software tool, integrated in a GIS-environment, that allows to assess and map, at the scale of individual hillslopes, soil erosion hazard in recently burned forest areas for different scenarios of post-fire land management, including “no-intervention” and considering diverse erosion mitigation and control measures.
This project began in 2005 with a simple methodology based on Rainfall Simulations and Open Plots focused at the slope scale, and then in 2007 the ErosfireII began to test this tool in other burned areason slope to catchment scale.
In this website you can observe some of the techniques applied in the study of soil erosion, since the beginning of the project till the latest’s advances on equipment and methods.
