“…De la Rosa et al (2019) stated that post-fire mulch led to higher contents of labile SOM, derived from the mulch itself, and to a preservation of the refractory carbon produced after the wildfire, even the reduction of biological activity, after high burning temperatures, can temporarily slowdown the degradation (Armas-Herrera et al, 2016;Girona-García et al, 2019). This higher carbon content in the topsoil will explain the slightly higher organic matter content in the eroded sediments of this study, as it also happened in Prats et al (2012Prats et al ( , 2016bPrats et al ( , 2016c.…”

Mulching with forest residues has proved to be highly effective in reducing post‐fire soil losses at the plot scale. However, its effectiveness has not been quantified at the application rates that are typically used in operational post‐fire land management (2–3 Mg ha‐1 using straw), as well as at scales larger than 100 m2. The present study compared post‐fire erosion rates for six convergent hillslopes or swales of 500 to 800 m2, three of which were left untreated while the other three were mulched immediately after the fire with shredded eucalypt bark at a rate of 2.4 Mg ha‐1. Erosion rates were monitored at irregular intervals during the first three post‐fire years, whilst ground cover was assessed yearly. Selected topsoil properties (0–2 cm) such as organic matter content and aggregate stability were determined at a single occasion – two years after the wildfire, for three micro‐environments separately: bare soil, and under mulch/litter and vegetation. Soil losses on the untreated swales decreased with post‐fire year from 2.2 to 0.4 and 0.11 Mg ha‐1 yr‐1 (respectively for the first, second and third post‐fire years), while the mulched swales produced 84%, 77% and 38% less soil losses than the untreated swales. Soil losses also depended on slope aspect, with the north‐facing swales producing less erosion than the west‐facing ones. This could be linked to their significant differences in bare soil, vegetation and stone cover, or a combination thereof. The type of micro‐environment also played a significant role in topsoil properties (stone content, bulk density, resistance to penetration/shear stress, porosity and organic matter content). The present results add to the increasing evidence that forest residues should be duly considered for operational post‐fire land management. Forest residues were highly effective in reducing erosion from swales at application rates as low as the typical 2 Mg ha‐1 of post‐fire straw mulch. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Some authors report unaltered pH values and ephemeral variations in electrical conductivity (Badía et al 2017;Alcañiz et al 2020), while, one year after the prescribed fire, other research shows marked decreases in nitrogen (Blankenship and Arthur 1999;Muqaddas et al 2015) as well as the recovery to pre-fire contents of magnesium and calcium (Alcañiz et al 2020). It has been found that the recovery of pre-fire soil properties may take place over short (Zhao et al 2015) or long (Alcañiz et al 2016) time spans, depending on fire temperature and residence time, topography of the burned area, rainfall, and degree of vegetation regeneration (Úbeda et al 2018;Girona-García et al 2019). Therefore, further research is needed to better understand the effects of prescribed fires in environments with contrasting characteristics (Hubbert et al 2006;Hueso-González et al 2018).…”

“…As emissões provenientes das queimas, além de alterar a umidade do solo, em função das mudanças na taxa de infiltração e na taxa de transpiração, podem alterar, por consequência o estoque de água no solo (REDIN, et al, 2011). Os efeitos diretos das queimadas no solo são altamente dependentes das condições ambientais, a médio prazo, a redução da atividade biológica do solo e a incorporação de cinzas e restos de plantas carbonizadas levaram a um aumento no carbono orgânico do solo, nos solos queimados (GIRONA-GARCIA et al, 2019). Nos seres humanos, estudos epidemiológicos mostram que a exposição a poluentes gasosos e material particulado está associada a maior incidência de sintomas das vias aéreas inferiores, como tosse, dispneia e sibilância, especialmente em crianças (ARBEX et al, 2014).…”

“…Na Espanha, segundo pesquisa conduzida por Girona-Garcia et al, (2019), a prática da queima prescrita foi readotada como prática de gestão para parar os processos de invasão de arbustos e recuperar as pastagens. A substituição de arbustos densos por pastagens melhora a qualidade do solo, impede a erosão e produz mais coeficientes de escoamento superficial do que na parcela de arbustos densos (NADAL-ROMERO et al, 2018).…”
