“…This behavior supports observations by several authors, who have reported an increase in soil pH following forest burning and for the effect to last for one to several years [29,52]. Arocena and Opio [10] also reported that soil pH increased by 2 or 3 pH units for two or three years after fires, and Rhoades et al [53] found that soil pH was higher in logged burnout areas for more than three years after combustion of downed logs compared with adjacent soil.…”

“…Burns are presumed to cause losses of un-dissociated organic acids in the litter and soil by combustion, removing them from the system [10]. In addition, the leaching of alkaline metals from the ash into the soil complex and the associated consumption of hydrogen ions in the formation of water could result in an increase in pH after fires [17,52]. The pH increase from the one-year post-burn soil may be related to losses of organic acids by heating [10].…”

Abstract:Pinus massoniana forests bordering South China are often affected by wildfires. Fires cause major changes in soil properties in many forest types but little is known about the effects of fire on soil properties in these P. massoniana forests. Such knowledge is important for providing a comprehensive understanding of wildfire effects on soil patterns and for planning appropriate long-term forest management in these forests. Changes in soil physical properties, carbon, nutrients, and enzymes were investigated in a P. massoniana forest along a wildfire-induced time span consisting of an unburned soil, and soils 0, one, four, and seven years post-fire. Soil (0-10 cm) was collected from burned and unburned sites immediately and one, four, and seven years after a wildfire. The wildfire effects on soil physical and chemical properties and enzyme activities were significantly different among treatment variation, time variation, and treatment-by-time interaction. Significant short-term effects on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties were found, which resulted in a deterioration of soil physical properties by increasing soil bulk density and decreasing macropores and capillary moisture. Soil pH increased significantly in the soil one-year post-fire. Carbon, total nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), and available N and P increased significantly immediately and one year after the wildfire and decreased progressively to concentrations lower than in the unburned soil. Total potassium (K) and exchangeable K increased immediately after the wildfire and then continuously decreased along the burned time-span. Urease, acid phosphatase, and catalase activities significantly decreased OPEN ACCESSForests 2014, 5 2948 compared to those in the unburned soil. In fire-prone P. massoniana forests, wildfires may significantly influence soil physical properties, carbon, nutrients, and enzyme activity.

“…It is, in fact, considered a major disturbance in many ecosystems which leads to important shifts in soil properties and vegetation (Certini, 2005;Granged et al, 2011a). One of the most common effects of fire is the alteration in the composition and amount of soil organic matter (Knicker, 2007;Terefe et al, 2008).…”

Grassland fire effect on soil organic carbon reservoirs in a semiarid environment

Abstract. The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of an experimental fire used for grassland management on soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. The study was carried out on Hyparrhenia hirta (L.) Stapf (Hh) grassland and Ampelodesmos mauritanicus (Desf.) T. Durand & Schinz (Am) grasslands located in the north of Sicily. Soil samples were collected at 0-5 cm before and after the experimental fire, and SOC was measured. During the grassland fire, soil surface temperature was monitored. Biomass of both grasses was analysed in order to determine dry weight and its chemical composition. The results showed that SOC varied significantly with vegetation type, while it is not affected in the short term by grassland fire. Am grassland stored more SOC compared with Hh grassland thanks to lower content in the biomass of the labile carbon pool. No significant difference was observed in SOC before and after fire, which could be caused by several factors: first, in both grassland types the measured soil temperature during fire was low due to thin litter layers; second, in a semiarid environment, a higher mineralization rate results in a lower soil carbon labile pool; and third, the SOC stored in the finest soil fractions, physically protected, is not affected by fire.
