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.

Orman yangınlarının su kaynakları üzerindeki etkileri

Öz

Çalışmanın amacı: Bu çalışmada, orman yangınlarının yağış dispozisyonu (intersepsiyon,
evapotranspirasyon, infiltrasyon, yüzeysel akış) ve suyun fiziksel-kimyasal
özellikleri üzerine etkileri 
tartışılmıştır. 

Materyal ve Yöntem: Bu derleme çalışmasında konu ile ilgili literatür bilgilerine yer
verilmiştir.   

Sonuçlar: İklim
değişikliği ile birlikte dünya genelinde orman yangınlarının artış göstermekte
olduğu öngörülmektedir. Bu nedenle, orman yangınlarının doğrudan veya dolaylı
olarak hidrolojik döngü içerisinde intersepsiyona, evapotranspirasyona,
infiltrasyona ve yüzeysel akışa neden olarak su kaynaklarının kalitesinde
değişimlere ve erozyona yol açabileceği anlaşılmaktadır.   

Araştırma
vurguları: Orman yangınları su
kaynaklarının fiziksel ve kimyasal özelliklerinde değişimlere neden olduğu için
suyun kalitesinde ve sucul yaşamda da olumsuz etkilere sahiptir.
