Forest fire effects on water resources
Öz
Aim of study: In this paper, effects of forest
fires on disposition of precipitation (interception,
evapotranspiration, infiltration, surface runoff) and physical-chemical
features of water were reviewed.
Material and
Methods: In this review paper, literatures were used to discuss
the subject.
Main results: It is
forecasting that climate change increases the forest fires around the world.
Thus, it is understood that forest fires can lead soil erosion and changes in
the quality of water resources due to causing interception, evapotranspiration,
infiltration and surface runoff in direct or indirect ways.
Research
highlights: Forest fires have adverse effects on quality of water
resources and aquatic life due causing changes in physical and chemical features
of water resources.
