TLDR
In this article, the authors measured the infiltration rates for contrasting slopes in southeast Spain by means of simulated rainfall and ponding and found that aspect as well as slope position and vegetation cover determine the steady state infiltration rates.About:

Current research issues related to post-wildfire runoff and erosion processes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify and quantify functional relations between metrics of fire effects and soil hydraulic properties that will better represent the dynamic and transient conditions after a wildfire and determine the interaction between burned landscapes and temporally and spatially variable meso-scale precipitation, which is often the primary driver of post-wildfire runoff and erosion processes.

The effect of ash and needle cover on surface runoff and erosion in the immediate post-fire period
Artemi Cerdà,Stefan H. Doerr +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the effects of ground cover on surface runoff generation and soil erodibility in the immediate post-fire period (2-10 days) following a severe wildfire in an Aleppo pine forest over calcareous soils in Mediterranean eastern Spain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Terraced landscapes: From an old best practice to a potential hazard for soil degradation due to land abandonment
TL;DR: In this article, the current state of agricultural terraced landscapes, underlining critical issues and likely solutions, are discussed, with a focus on the use of high-resolution topography derived by lidar.

The immediate effectiveness of barley straw mulch in reducing soil erodibility and surface runoff generation in Mediterranean vineyards
TL;DR: Straw mulch is very effective in reducing soil erodibility and surface runoff, and this benefit was achieved immediately after the application of the straw.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of patchy distribution ofStipa tenacissimaL. on runoff and erosion
TL;DR: In this paper, rainfall simulation experiments were carried out at three sites in south-east Spain in order to understand the hydrological and erosional behaviour of the vegetated (herbs andalphagrass) and bare zones, and the experiments showed that surface runoff and erosion is negligible in the tussock and quite high in the bare areas.

Water in environmental planning
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the current literature associated with water resources can be found in this paper, but perhaps more importantly can also be used as an introductory working document in dealing with particular environmental problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Rôle of infiltration in the hydrologic cycle
TL;DR: Patten and Gallagher as mentioned in this paper confine the use of percolation to the free downward flow by gravity of water in the zone of aeration, a process for which a distinctive term is needed.
