Description :
Rainfall simulation experiments were carried out on several plots at different times since the fire near Haifa, Israel. The results obtained show that the total runoff and sediment yield varied considerably in both space and time. High spatial variability, at the plot scale, together with relatively low fire intensities and a well-structured and stable soil, were considered to be the main reasons for the very low runoff and sediment yield at the meso-scale (hillslope).
