In recent years, the use of fire as a means by which to manage forest ecosystems has become more frequent in Europe. Fire significant impact on soil, and it is therefore necessary understand how controlled burns affect this invaluable resource. The purpose study was evaluate main alterations physical-chemical biological properties soil because high intensity-controlled burn "Los Boquerones" area (Villaviciosa de Córdoba, Spain). Additionally, we assessed spatial heterogeneity different properties. A grid 12 points established hillside Sierra Morena (Córdoba). Thermocouples were placed at each point, samples collected two depths (0-2 cm 2-5 cm) before burning, immediately after burning eight months later. Soil pH, electrical conductivity, nutrient content and/or availability, among others, their spatio-temporal variations analysed. increased first centimetres up >2 units, increase maintained following burn. high-intensity had positive short-term effect some properties, such availability for plants, considerably increased. magnitude indicators spatially explained behaviour during burning. also both direct indirect effects microorganisms. conclusion, possible immediate resource should be considered holistic management ecosystems, its functionality capacity provide ecosystem services largely altered these events function intensity.

Forests acting as carbon storage and sequestration play an essential role in the global nutrient cycle, which fungi are active participants. The forests cover almost all regions from boreal, temperate to subtropical tropical forests. relative proportion of sequestrated forest soil varies approximately 85% terrestrial pool boreal 60% 50% rainforests. Fungi decomposers organic matter root-associated mediators belowground transport respiration key drivers cycle For example, saprophytic can degrade release into soil, whereas symbiotic could form symbiosis with plants, through plant benefit each other flow.

Although forest fires are one of the main natural disturbance types in boreal forests, there is limited information regarding surface (dominant Northern Europe), and how different severities could affect post-fire soil greenhouse gas emissions. The results our study show that fire severity, time since changes temperature were factors driving carbon dioxide (CO2) flux (forest floor ecosystem respiration) from burned soils. Approximately two hours after fire, CO2 emissions areas significantly higher compared to pre-fire conditions, with high-severity had those low-severity fires. Later (days, months) unburned control always emission values areas. In case methane (CH4), temperatures CH4 fluxes. Unburned sinks through entire measurement period, while immediately turned sink source. For nitrous oxide (N2O) measurements, was only factor affected N2O Shortly increased both low- high-intensity plots. Two days C N content decreased O-horizon within first 5 cm mineral layer, trend visible Samples collected four months showed similar total as before fire.

Wildfires play an essential role in the ecology of boreal forests. In eastern Siberia, fire activity has been increasing recent years, challenging livelihoods local communities. Intensifying regimes also increase disturbance pressure on forests, which currently protect permafrost beneath from accelerated degradation. However, long-term relationships between changes regime and forest structure remain largely unknown. We assess past fire-vegetation feedbacks using sedimentary proxy records Lake Satagay, Central Yakutia, covering c. 10,800 years. Results macroscopic microscopic charcoal analyses indicate high amounts burnt biomass during Early Holocene, that present-day, low-severity surface place since 4,500 years before present. A pollen-based quantitative reconstruction vegetation cover a terrestrial plant record based ancient DNA metabarcoding suggest pronounced shift toward Late Holocene. Whereas Holocene was characterized by postglacial open larch-birch woodlands, changed modern, mixed larch-dominated closed-canopy Mid-Holocene. propose potential relationship woodlands biomass, as well mediating effect dense larch climate-driven intensification regimes. Considering anticipated disturbances (droughts, insect invasions, wildfires), higher tree mortality may force modern state to woodland comparable Such result positive feedback intensifying wildfires. These new data improve our understanding millennial-scale their where population is already being confronted with wildfire seasons.

Abstract Aims Plant–soil feedback (PSF) is an important mechanism controlling plant growth, vegetation dynamics, and longer-term larger-scale patterns of community diversity. We know that between plants soil biota depends on several external factors, such as nutrient water availability, interactions with neighbouring plants. argue in the ‘real world’, PSF are not working isolation but instead proceed within a complex context multiple interacting factors. Fire one those factors which could greatly alter by re-setting or re-directing plant-soil interactions. Methods reviewed key literature effects fire physicochemical properties depth, to generate predictions PSF. Results highlight has strong potential directly indirectly affect strength To what extent this influences trajectories characteristics ecosystem type. Here, we conceptualized these biota, then discuss main pathways through should Conclusions think processes be nullified under after fire. Average neutral responses expected more common short-term timeframe required for major microbial players regain their pre-fire abundances conclude providing directions future research possible methods study both field controlled conditions.
