## Abstract Research shows that water repellency is a key hydraulic property that results in reduced infiltration rates in burned soils. However, more work is required in order to link the hydrological behaviour of water repellent soils to observed runoff responses at the plot and hillslope scale.
## Abstract Forest fires can alter several soil properties influencing soil erosion and runoff processes in addition to removing all or part of the vegetative cover. These include organic matter content, aggregate stability and water repellency. Soil erodibility and saturated hydraulic conductivity
