Fire has always been a driving factor of life on Earth. Now that mankind has definitely joined
the other environmental forces in sha** the planet, lots of species are threatened by …

Soils are among the most valuable non-renewable resources on the Earth. They support
natural vegetation and human agro-ecosystems, represent the largest terrestrial organic …

In boreal and arctic regions, forest fires exert great influences on biogeochemical processes,
hydrothermal dynamics of the active layer and near-surface permafrost, and subsequent …

Wildfires affect ecosystems depending on the fire regime. Long-term studies are needed to
understand the ecological role played by fire, especially as regards its impact on soils. The …

The aim of this work is to investigate the topsoil thickness affected by burning under
contrasting soil moisture content (field capacity versus air-dried conditions). A mollic horizon …

Pyrogenic carbon (PyC), produced naturally (wildfire charcoal) and anthropogenically
(biochar), is extensively studied due to its importance in several disciplines, including global …

Sulfide is one of the most abundant reductants in the subsurface environment, while
pyrogenic carbon is a redox medium that widely exists in sulfide environment. Previous …

We have designed a pyrocosm to enable fine-scale dissection of post-fire soil microbial
communities. Using it we show that the peak soil temperature achieved at a given depth …

Calcium is commonly the most abundant element in fire residues and its speciation largely
determines the geochemical properties of fire residues and their effects on postfire soil …

Soil phosphorus (P), which is essential for ecosystem functioning, undergoes notable
changes after fire. However, the extent to which fire characteristics affect P dynamics …
