Despite ample literature, research is not exhaustive about the wildfire impacts on the different components of the forest ecosystem (plants, water and soil) and the related post-fire issues. In particular, literature has not clearly identified the most suitable restoration strategy, due to the variability of the environmental conditions, and thus clear guidelines still lack. There is evidently the need to better understand the impacts of wildfire and post-fire management techniques at hillslope and channel scales on hydrological, geomorphological and ecological processes in forest ecosystems. This session aims at proposing the most recent researches evaluating the effectiveness of the several post-fire management techniques experienced worldwide. Bringing together contributions from several contexts, dealing with detailed field experiences, validated models and effectiveness assessment methods, can help to support the restoration actions of land managers in fire-affected areas, and, at the same time, identify scientific literature gaps and future research directions.
