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 …

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 …

Wildfires burn extensive forest areas around the world each year. In many locations, fire-
prone forest catchments are utilised for the supply of potable water to small communities up …

Contemporary soil science and conservation methods of effective forestry Forests and the
soils that serve as their foundation cover almost a third of the world's land area. Soils …

Soil Genesis and Classification, Sixth Edition, builds on the success of the previous editions
to present an unparalleled resource on soil formation and classification. Featuring a color …

Wildfires release substantial quantities of carbon (C) into the atmosphere but they also
convert part of the burnt biomass into pyrogenic organic matter (Py OM). This is richer in C …

Forest fire is very common to all the ecosystems of the world. It affects both vegetation and
soil. It is also helpful in maintaining diversity and stability of ecosystems. Effect of forest fire …

Hillslopes are thought to be most susceptible to enhanced surface runoff and erosion
immediately following wildfire due to removal of protective vegetation and litter cover, and in …

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 …

We investigated the control of postwildfire runoff by physical and hydraulic properties of soil,
hydrologic states, and an ash layer immediately following wildfire. The field site is within the …
