Wildfires are generally believed to be detrimental to slope stability, by both damaging the vegetation and altering the hydro-mechanical properties of soil cover through thermal stress and burning action (Rengers et al., 2020). However, the extent to which wildfires may impact on state of the vegetation and soil state is still an open issue, as it depends on several factors such as fire intensity, on the soil and vegetation state and type. The research activity was carried out with reference to in-situ test-site, the Pisciolo hillslope, where selected vegetation has been seeded and farmed (Tagarelli et al., 2022), with the aim to assess its effectiveness in reducing surface water infiltration. The test site caught fire in September 2023, during which most of the vegetation was burned down. Pre and post fire soil properties were evaluated using laboratory and in-situ methods including Loss-on-Ignition (LOI), water drop penetration time (WDPT), and in-situ seepage tests (i.e., by means of Guelph permeameter and double ring infiltrometer). Furthermore, the wildfire-induced thermal stress in the soil was monitored with a thermocouple recording soil temperature within 15cm b.g.l.. Monitoring results showed that significant wildfire-induced temperature variations were limited to the very near-surface soil layer, up to 25cm; the soil organic matter decreased after the fire exposure; the hydraulic behaviour was also affected but only to a minor extent, since the coefficient of saturated permeability was found to change only slightly. The logged information may be used for a better understanding of the soil and vegetation post-fire evolution states; indeed, such data could inform a numerical back-analysis of the wildfire forcing action within a thermo-hydraulic modelling to test the existing constitutive models as well as to predict future scenarios; furthermore, this research activity is expected also to impact on the modelling of the slope-vegetation-atmosphere interaction at the ground surface, which is the factor mainly controlling the current activity of several weather-induced landslide in both fine and coarser slopes.
