الوصف: I Seminar of the Forest Fires - Soils Network and I Ibero-Afro-American Symposium of Risks “Risks, Forest Fires and Territory” Faro, 4th, 5th and 6th of November of 2014.-- Panel 1: Forest Fires and Effects on Soils ; Forest fires are a frequent phenomenon in Mediterranean ecosystems leading to the alteration of soil physical and chemical properties. In particular are well documented the fire induced changes in the composition and properties of soil organic matter (SOM). In addition, post fire soil erosion is usually a dramatic consequence of the above transformations, demanding the implementation of urgent restoration strategies, which needs to be scheduled and monitored. Taking the above considerations in mind, in this communication we report data on the alteration of fire affected soil properties along a time gradient. In August 2012, a wildfire affected a pine forest area (90 ha) in Montellano (Seville, SW Spain; longitude 37.00 º, latitude -5.56 º). Soil types in this area are Rendzic Leptosols and Calcaric Haplic Regosols. Soil samples were collected 1 month and 25 months after the wildfire. Control samples (unaffected by fire) were collected in an adjacent area. Branches, stems, bushes and plant residues on the fire-affected area were removed 16 months after the fire using heavy machinery as part of the post-fire management. Soil samples were analysed by elemental analysis (C, N and OC), 13C NMR spectroscopy and analytical pyrolysis (Py-GC/MS). The results obtained showed that in the burnt soils taken 2 years after the fire, the total organic carbon (TOC) content decreased drastically compared with the pre-fire status. Similarly, the water holding capacity (WHC) of the burnt soils were reduced, which is probably due to their loss of OC. Heating increased soil pH. Two years after fire this increase of the soil pH was transferred to deeper soil horizons ( ≥10 cm), which is probably related with the leaching of ashes. Concerning the analytical pyrolysis results, pyrochromatograms of the burnt soils taken two ...
