This study presents the investigation of wildfires impact on the hydrological response of the small scale experimental watershed of Lykorrema stream, which is located in the east side of Penteli Mountain, Attica, Greece. In the recent years, the watershed was affected by two wildfires in August 1995 and in August 2009. The effect of the August 1995 wildfire on the peak runoff was investigated in a previous study, in which an increment of 10 times in peak runoff was observed. This paper presents the results of an analysis concerning the impact of the second wildfire on the watershed’s hydrological response based on the available detailed spatial physical and hydro-meteorological data. The results obtained highlight the considerable impact of forest fire on the watersheds hydrological response. An increment in the direct runoff depths and the peak flow rates as much as 230% and 850% respectively was observed during the first two years of the post-fire period. </p></abstract><publication_date><month>04</month><day>30</day><year>2013</year></publication_date><pages><first_page>303</first_page><last_page>310</last_page></pages><publisher_item><identifier id_type="pii">876</identifier></publisher_item><doi_data><doi>10.30955/gnj.000876</doi><timestamp>1714662585</timestamp><resource>https://journal.gnest.org/publication/876</resource></doi_data></journal_article></journal></body></doi_batch> </div>
