Xavier Ubeda has more than 25 years of experience in the study of fire effects in soil properties, hydrology and soil erosion. He participated in two European projects where the main interest was to understand the importance of the fire intensity in soil physics changes, erosion processes and vegetation regrowth. Thanks to these projects he finished his PhD in Geography in 1998 with a work entitled: Effects of the different fire intensity in the soil properties. Since 2000 his main interest is the effects of the prescribed fires on soil properties, due to it is a common fuel management in his region. Four Spanish projects have sponsored the investigation about the short, medium and long term effects in soils after prescribed fires.
