“…No significant differences were found in some of the studied variables (pH, N, Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , and K + ), which corroborates other results (Savadogo, Diawara, Dayamba, Sawadogo, & Nacro, 2017; Zhao, Wang, Xu, & Fu, 2015), and was probably due to the low‐intensity burning (Neill, Patterson III, & Crary Jr, 2007; Sherman, Brye, Gill, & Koenig, 2005) as other studies (Alcañiz et al, 2016; Kennard & Gholz, 2001; Shakesby et al, 2015) have shown significant changes after higher‐intensity prescribed burns. We assumed that the low‐burn intensity would not generate conditions leading to ash incorporation or would not promote changes in oxidation of organic matter or the release of cations (Arocena & Opio, 2003; Mataix‐Solera et al, 2009; Pereira et al, 2014).…”

“…Y. Odum singles out the changes of ecosystems after a fire in a separate group of post-pyrogenic successions, calling them "pulsating stable successions". Peculiarities of pyrogenic changes and demutational processes are caused both by the specifics of ecosystem components and by the scale, intensity, time of occurrence of fires and other factors (Scherbina et al, 2014;Savadogo et al, 2017).…”

“…The soil of the savanna ecosystem of Yuanjiang China is seriously degraded, especially owing to livestock grazing. Grazing‐based animal activities have numerous negative environmental consequences, such as biodiversity reduction (Savadogo et al, 2017), compacted soil structure (Zhang et al, 2019), decreased soil fertility (Liu et al, 2016; Pulido et al, 2018), excessive soil erosion (Wine et al, 2012), and impaired hydrological characteristics (Hoshino et al, 2009). In response to these problems, the Chinese Government and scientists have proposed the establishment of exclosures, which is widely regarded as an efficient, effective, and inexpensive practice for the restoration of degraded soils (Feyisa et al, 2017; Tóth et al, 2018).…”
