A review of the effects of forest fire on soil properties
Forest fires are key ecosystem modifiers affecting the biological, chemical, and physical
attributes of forest soils. The extent of soil disturbance by fire is largely dependent on fire …

Fire effects on the persistence of soil organic matter and long-term carbon storage
One paradigm in biogeochemistry is that frequent disturbance tends to deplete carbon (C) in
soil organic matter (SOM) by reducing biomass inputs and promoting losses. However …

Belowground community responses to fire: meta‐analysis reveals contrasting responses of soil microorganisms and mesofauna
Global fire regimes are shifting due to climate and land use changes. Understanding the
responses of belowground communities to fire is key to predicting changes in the ecosystem …

Current research issues related to post-wildfire runoff and erosion processes
JA Moody, RA Shakesby, PR Robichaud… - Earth-science …, 2013 - Elsevier
Research into post-wildfire effects began in the United States more than 70years ago and
only later extended to other parts of the world. Post-wildfire responses are typically transient …

Effect of rainfall intensity, slope, land use and antecedent soil moisture on soil erosion in an arid environment
Most climate change scenarios predict a significant increase in the frequency of high
intensity rainfall events especially in the dry areas, which will increase runoff and soil …
