Climate change has strongly increased the fire frequency in Mediterranean forests causing
changes in soil bacterial, fungal and microarthropod communities. Fire impacts on soil …

The intensive wildfires recurring in the Mediterranean area modify soil physico-chemical
properties, in turn inducing changes in soil microbial abundance and activity. Soils were …

The knowledge of the effects of fire on soil properties is of particular concern in
Mediterranean areas, where the effects of vegetation type are still scarce also. This research …

Abstract Knowledge of forest soil ecology is necessary to assess vulnerability to
disturbances, such as wildfires, and improve its microbial diversity and functional value. Soil …

Fire is a fundamental ecological process with a long history on Earth, determining the
distribution of vegetation formations across the globe. Fire, however, does not only affect the …

The Mediterranean area is a fragile semi-arid ecosystem, characterized by a high level of
biodiversity. Due to its climatic conditions, fires are frequent. Fires strongly impact the …

Wildfires have high frequency and intensity in the Mediterranean ecosystems that deeply
modify the soil abiotic (ie, pH, contents of water, organic matter and elements) and biotic …

The intersection of fire, land use transformations, and climate change is putting
Mediterranean climate-type ecosystems at risk of soil degradation and loss of ecosystem …

Soils are influenced by stand composition and hydrological regime as well as by stress
abiotic factors, including forest fires. As such, this study analyzed three stands affected by …

Spatial heterogeneity of soil properties plays a major role in regulating ecosystem structure
and functioning. In general, soil resources accumulate beneath woody plant-covered …
