Forests provide a number of ecological and hydrological services, for instance, contributing to decreased water and sediment yields through increased infiltration and reduced soil erosion. However, forest fires can turn positive forest services into drawbacks, enhancing surface runoff and soil erosion and damaging both hillslopes and downstream aquatic life in rivers. Therefore, appropriate mitigation strategies should be developed to limit these negative effects. Using a runoff and erosion model (the WaterSed model), we proposed forest fire and firebreak scenarios to analyse their respective effects on sediment loads. The model reproduced the measured discharge and sediment loads over an entire hydrological year, including 21 flood events occurring from November 2010 to May 2011 in a 72-km2 Mediterranean catchment (Celone catchment, Puglia, Italy). Eight different forest fire scenarios were then proposed. While the mean burnt areas remained below 2% of the total catchment area, forest fires significantly affected the sediment yield. Indeed, the sediment yield increased over the different forest fire scenarios, from 1.97 to 2.70 t ha−1.yr−1, corresponding to a 37% increase. At the flood-event scale, the sediment load after fire represented up to 324% of the unburnt catchment sediment load in the worst-case scenario. By using realistic firebreaks, the sediment load could be dramatically reduced, from 324% to 165%, in the worst-case scenario. Because rural catchments, such as the Celone catchment, are currently experiencing land abandonment, forested areas are expected to replace crops and expand in the future. This change will likely increase forest ecological services, which may, however, be punctually balanced by negative fire effects. More studies addressing the global impacts of forest growth, fires and firebreaks on sediment transfers are therefore needed in similar environments.

The suspended particles of catchment networks are dependent on both river and hillslope erosion processes. During this thesis, the particle size dynamics was studied along this continuum in order to improve the understanding of particle delivery from hillslopes to the outlets of headwater catchments. Field measurements were conducted at the headwater catchment scale (~20 km²). The discharge displayed a positive correlation with the particle size. An original measurement protocol has been set up and it demonstrated that particles were mostly aggregated. The inputs from hillslopes were possibly involved in some of the variations of the measured particle size. Laboratory experiments carried out using an annular flume demonstrated that a part of these variations could be explained by disaggregation or flocculation within the flow. Important variations due to the soil type were observed. However, they were less pronounced in the falling limbs of the schematic flood events, suggesting that flow conditions progressively became more important than the soil signature. The latter encouraged the analysis of hillslope processes, among which a special attention was given to the rainfall effects. Rainfall simulation experiments (~1 m²) demonstrated for two soils that an increase in the rainfall kinetic energy resulted in smallest aggregates detached from the soil matrix. The importance of this mecanism at the hillslope scale (~ 100 m²) with regard to runoff selectivity was demonstrated developing a size-dependent detachment parametrisation included in two physically based numerical models. Finally, the effects of the rainfall kinetic energy on the particle size were observed during field measurements made at the plot scale as well, underlining the need to adequatly describe the rainfall forcing field at this scale., Les particules en suspension transportées dans les réseaux hydrographiques résultent des processus de rivière et des apports depuis les versants. Nous avons étudié dans cette thèse la dynamique des tailles de particules le long du continuum versant-rivière afin d'apporter des éléments de réponse à la réflexion aujourd'hui menée sur les distances de transport et sur le concept de connectivité sédimentaire. Des observations de terrain sont menées à l'exutoire d'un bassin versant de tête (~20 km²). Elles mettent en évidence une corrélation positive entre débit liquide et taille des particules. L'établissement et la mise en oeuvre d'un protocole de mesure original montre que les particules sont agrégées. A cette échelle, les apports des versants semblent importants pour expliquer les variations de taille des particules. Des expériences de laboratoire utilisant un canal annulaire sont menées et indiquent qu'une partie de ces variations peut être attribuée à la désagrégation ou à la floculation des particules dans l'écoulement. Des variations de taille notables sont dues au type de sol. Elles sont moindres à la fin des évènements schématiques simulés en canal, suggérant que l'écoulement prend une part prépondérante pour expliquer les variations de taille des particules. Cet effet du type de sol a motivé l'étude des processus de versant, et en particulier ceux de la pluie. Des expériences de simulations de pluie menées en laboratoire (~1 m²) sur deux sols révèlent que l'augmentation de l'énergie cinétique de la pluie a tendance à générer des agrégats plus fins. Une paramétrisation du détachement par la pluie par fraction granulométrique est développée sur la base de ces expériences et implémentée au sein de deux modèles numériques d'érosion hydrique à base physique. Les simulations numériques confirment que cette tendance a des impacts sur les exports à l'échelle du versant. Enfin, des variations de granulométrie en lien avec l'énergie cinétique de la pluie sont perceptibles lors d'observations de terrain à l'échelle du versant (~ 100 m²), confirmant l'importance d'une description correcte du forçage pluviométrique.

Connectivity has been embraced by the geosciences community as a useful concept to understand and describe hydrological functioning and sediment movement through catchments. Mathematical modelling has been used for decades to quantify and predict erosion and transport of sediments, e.g. in scenarios of land use change or conservation measures. Being intrigued by both models and the connectivity concept, as a group of modellers we aimed at investigating what different models could tell us about connectivity. Therefore, we evaluated the response of contrasted spatially-distributed models to landscape connectivity features and explained the differences based on different model structures. A total of 53 scenarios were built with varying field sizes and orientations, as well as the implementation of soil conservation measures. These scenarios were simulated, for two rainfall intensities, with five event- and process-based water and soil erosion models – EROSION3D, FullSWOF_2D, LandSoil, OpenLISEM and Watersed. Results showed that rainfall amount plays the most important role in determining relative export and connected area of runoff and sediment in all models, indicating that functional aspects of connectivity were more important than structural connectivity. As for the role of structural landscape elements, there was no overall agreement between models regarding the effects of field sizes, crop allocation pattern, and conservation practices; agreement was also low on the spatial patterns of connectivity. This overall disagreement between models was unexpected. The results of this exercise suggest that the correct parameterization of runoff and sediment production and of routing patterns may be an important issue. Thus, incorporating connectivity functions based on routing would help modelling forward. Our results also suggest that structural connectivity indices may not suffice to represent connectivity in this type of catchment (relatively simple and monotonous land cover), and functional connectivity indices should be applied., Geomorphology, 367, ISSN:0169-555x, ISSN:1872-695X
