Wildfires are known to be one of the main causes of soil erosion and land degradation, and
their impacts on ecosystems and society are expected to increase in the future due to …

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 …

In late June 2021 a heatwave of unprecedented magnitude impacted the Pacific Northwest
region of Canada and the United States. Many locations broke all-time maximum …

Forest soil microbiomes have crucial roles in carbon storage, biogeochemical cycling and
rhizosphere processes. Wildfire season length, and the frequency and size of severe fires …

Fire transforms fuels (ie biomass, necromass, soil organic matter) into materials with different
chemical and physical properties. One of these materials is ash, which is the particulate …

In the semiarid Southwestern USA, wildfires are commonly followed by runoff-generated
debris flows because wildfires remove vegetation and ground cover, which reduces soil …

Fire is a keystone process in many ecosystems of western North America. Severe fires kill
and consume large amounts of above‐and belowground biomass and affect soils, resulting …

Fire is a widespread Earth system process with important carbon and climate feedbacks.
Multispectral remote sensing has enabled mapping of global spatiotemporal patterns of fire …

It is clear that, in some climates, fires are a natural phenomenon, they have occurred for
millennia and plants have revealed the capacity to cope with them (Pausas et al., 2008). It is …

Soil burn severity has been widely used to describe the impacts of fire on soils and is
increasingly being recognised as a decisive factor controlling post-fire erosion rates …
