Afforestation is a current strategy for land reclamation in the Spanish mountains. Several studies demonstrate that, at a hillside scale, the geomorphological effect of afforestation is very variable, depending on many environmental factors (especially the exposure, the shape of the hillslope and the position on the slope). When these effects are studied at a basin scale the results prove that afforestations change the hydrological behaviour of the basins, reducing the peak flows and the size of the sediments, and causing plant reestablishment in the channels and on the river banks. © 1995.
