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 …

Multispectral imagery is a widely used source of information to address post-fire ecosystem
management. The aim of this study is to evaluate the ability of remotely sensed indices …

The aim of this work is to investigate the topsoil thickness affected by burning under
contrasting soil moisture content (field capacity versus air-dried conditions). A mollic horizon …

Forest fires are one of the most important causes of environmental alteration in
Mediterranean countries. Discrimination of different degrees of burn severity is critical for …

Aims Tropical savanna evolved in the presence of fire, depending on it to maintain its
physiognomies and biodiversity. Open ecosystems of tropical savanna burn frequently, and …

In Europe, rural depopulation and the abandonment of pastoral practices in mountain areas
trigger deep changes in the landscape, which result in the accumulation of lignified fuels …

Prescribed burning has been readopted in the last decade in the Central Pyrenees to stop
the regression of subalpine grasslands in favour of shrublands, dominated among others by …

Spring grassland fires are common in boreal areas as a consequence of slash and burn
agriculture used to remove dry grass to increase soil nutrient properties and crop production …

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 …

This study examines the direct impact of a moderate/high-severity prescribed fire on
phosphorous (P) stocks and partitioning in oligotrophic soils of a dry eucalypt forest within …
