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 …

Soils constitute one of the most valuable resources on earth, especially because soil is
renewable on human time scales. During the 20th century, a period marked by a …

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 …

Prescribed fires are a common management practice in the Mediterranean region and can
be an alternative to reduce the quantity of fuel and hence decrease the wildfire risk. This …

Wildfires are responsible for a substantial loss of forest ecosystem services globally and
represent a major driving force of forest degradation across Latin American and the …

Destructive flash floods and debris flows are a common menace following wildfire. The
restoration of protection provided by forests from post-fire floods and debris flows depends …

Aim of the study: To review and acknowledge the value of carbon sequestration by forest
management in the Mediterranean area. Material and methods: We review the main effects …

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

Wildfires are non-controlled large-scale fires of various vegetation types that have long
affected the Mediterranean-climate regions, but their increased frequency and severity has …

Prescribed fire removes or reduces the plant material that is prone to forest fires by creating
fuel discontinuity and minimising fire intensity. This forest management tool potentially …
