It is important to understand the effect of high intensity fires and prescribed fire as a management tool for soils. This special issue will not only contribute to a better understanding of the effects of fires on soils but will also suggest solutions for soil rehabilitation and management in ...
Here we explore the effects of fire on soils as influenced by human interference. Human-induced fires have shaped our landscape for thousands of years and they are currently the most common fires in many parts of the world. We first give an overview of fire effect on soils and then focus ...
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 intensity, duration and recurrence, fuel load, and soil characteristics. The impact on soil properties is intricate...
Although some studies have been conducted to examine effects of fire on soil carbon storage of tropical ecosystems, the general trend is not known. It is therefore necessary to have proper understanding on the effect of fire on soil carbon, so as to direct future fire research, modeling and ...

Section I - To assess the effect of fire on soil properties, 10 soil samples were randomly collected from each plot and immediately mixed to obtain a representative and homogeneous sample of each of the 5 burned and 5 unburned plots. Samples (± 1 kg each)were collected at 0 -20 cm dep...
Post-fire soil erosion risk assessment is not exempt of uncertainties. In many parts of the world post-fire soil erosion can have devastating effects over forest ecosystems, infrastructures and human life. However, in the Mediterranean countries, it has been defined as "low" and it was attribute...

and soil; (2) spatial and temporal variation in fire regimes; (3) prefire status of vegetation in fuels; (4) postfire patterns of ecosystem recovery. The role of these factors in determining the patterns of fire effects on soils and biogeochemical processes is a central theme of this chapte...
under any higher fire frequencies savanna is favoured. The FVS feedbacks in scenarios iii and iv are time asymmetric because fire instantaneously decreases soil fertility, but recovery of soil fertility is gradual. This feedback amplifies the strength of the edaphic effect on woody plant growth. The...
