“…Medium-or low-intensity fires may induce structural changes in aliphatic compounds, while humic acids may remain unchanged (Giovannini, 1994;Pardini et al, 2004;Badía et al, 2014). At higher temperatures, soil organic matter suffers modifications; the degree of stability and condensation of humic fractions induce a greater resistance to microbial degradation (Bodí et al, 2012a).…”

ABSTRACT.Wildfires may produce several changes in the short-and longterm in the landscape and in the soil system. The magnitude of these changes induced by fire in the components of ecosystems (water, soil, vegetation and fauna) depends on fire properties (fire intensity and severity) and environmental factors (vegetation, soil, geomorphology, etc.) Cómo afectan los incendios a las propiedades del suelo. Una breve revisión (vegetación, suelos, geomorfología, etc.) RESUMEN. Los incendios forestales pueden producir varios cambios a corto y largo plazo en el paisaje y en el sistema suelo. La magnitud de estos cambios inducidos por el fuego en los componentes de los ecosistemas (agua, suelo, vegetación y fauna) depende de las propiedades del incendio (intensidad y severidad del fuego) y ambientales

“…The commonly observed increases in runoff and soil erosion in recently burnt areas are typically attributed to the removal of the protective soil cover by vegetation and litter, in combination with heating-induced changes in topsoil properties such as infiltration capacity, aggregate stability and soil water repellency (Badía-Villas et al, 2014a;Granged et al, 2011;Prats et al, 2014;Shakesby and Doerr, 2006;Varela et al, 2010). The combined direct and indirect effects of fires can have important short-to long-term implications for key aspects of soil quality such as the quantity and quality of soil organic matter (SOM), nutrient stocks and pollutants (e.g., polycyclic aromatic compounds), as well as for aquatic habitats receiving sediment-and ash-loaded runoff from upstream burnt areas (Campos et al, 2012;González-Pérez et al, 2004;Smith et al, 2011).…”

“…4b). In contrast, the decrease in AS after fire reported for other soil types rarely exceeded 15% (Marcos et al 2007, O'Dea 2007, Campo et al 2008, Terefe et al 2008, Varela et al 2010, Badia-Villas et al 2014). According to Mataix-Solera et al (2011) this is the typical response of soils such as Andosols, whose main binding agent is SOM (Candan & Broquen 2009).…”

Andosols are the most characteristic soils of volcanic regions such as the forested, fire-prone, hillslopes of the mountainous Canary Islands (Spain). Due to their volcanic nature, these soils have traditionally been considered highly resistant to water erosion processes in undisturbed conditions, but are also highly susceptible to environmental disturbances. In addition, volcanic terrains often underlie heavily-populated, steep areas where torrential rains are frequent, increasing the threat to the population and infrastructures downslope. Numerous hydrological and erosional catastrophic events in disturbed Andosols in the Canary Islands and worldwide, leading to major losses to lives and properties, have been historically and recently reported. The impact of environmental alterations such as land use change on hydrological and erosional response of Andosols has been widely studied in the Canary Islands and worldwide. However, the effect on this soil type of wildfires, generally considered one of the main geomorphological agents, and historically connected to the forested fire-prone Andosols of the islands, has had scant attention to date. This review seeks to redress this knowledge gap by: (i) evaluating the factors affecting the susceptibility of Andosols to catastrophic hydrological and erosional events; (ii) summarizing the published studies on the impact of fire and the post-fire response of this soil type and the specific restoration measures developed to date; and (iii) identifying research gaps and suggesting new lines of investigation in order to reduce the hydrological and erosional risks in these particular terrains.
