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 …

Vegetation changes caused by fire events are visible instantly but changes in soils are less
apparent, and could be short-term, long-term or permanent in nature. Research has shown …

Climate warming is likely to increase the frequency and severity of forest disturbances, with
uncertain consequences for soil microbial communities and their contribution to ecosystem …

Aims Areas affected by wildfire comprise spatially complex mosaics of burned patches in
which a wide range of burn severities coexist. Rapid diagnosis of the different levels of soil …

Soil microbiology is crucial for soil system functioning. Fire can affect soil microbes directly
through heating and indirectly by modifying soil properties. Microbes will also be affected by …

Wildfire is the major type of disturbance in forest and shrubland ecosystems in Galicia (NW
Spain). Soil stabilization and rehabilitation techniques are frequently used to minimize the …

Soil organic carbon and nutrient content are analysed at topsoil cm-scale in a Rendzic
Phaeozem from an Aleppo pine forest in semiarid Central Ebro Basin (NE-Spain). Soil depth …

After a century of fire suppression, dense forests in California have fueled high-severity fires.
We surveyed mixed conifer forest with 995–1178 trees ha− 1 (stems> 10 cm diameter at …

The results of the assessment of burned residential and wildland areas associated with the
July 2018 western Attica wildfire are summarised. The dispersion of major and trace …

Wildfires subject soil microbes to extreme temperatures and modify their physical and
chemical habitat. This might immediately alter their community structure and ecosystem …
