Fire effects on nitrogen pools and dynamics in terrestrial ecosystems: a meta-analysis
Shiqiang Wan,Dafeng Hui,Yiqi Luo +2 more
TL;DR: This article used a meta-analysis method to synthesize up to 185 data sets from 87 studies published from 1955 to 1999 and found that fire significantly reduced FNA (58%), increased soil NH4 1 (94%), and NO3 2 (152%), and had no significant influences on FNC, SNA, and SNC.

Post-wildfire soil erosion in the Mediterranean: Review and future research directions
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of Mediterranean post-wildfire hydrology, soil properties and soil erosion by water is presented, which highlights the characteristics of Mediterranean landscapes and highlights the impact of wildfire on hydrology and soil properties.

The Components of Nitrogen Availability Assessments in Forest Soils
Dan Binkley,Stephen C. Hart +1 more
TL;DR: The concept of soil availability may represent the rate at which N is converted from unavailable to available forms within the rooting zone (Scarsbrook, 1965) or it may refer to the extent to which plant production is constrained by a limited supply of available N.

The role of fire in European Mediterranean ecosystems
Juli G. Pausas,V. Ramón Vallejo +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a model of vegetation dynamics can be built from the knowledge of plant traits and may help us in predicting post-fire vegetation and long-term vegetation changes under recurrent fires.

Short-term effect of wildfire on the chemical, biochemical and microbiological properties of Mediterranean pine forest soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the short-term effects of wildfire on the characteristics of Mediterranean pine forest soils, exposed to semiarid climatic conditions, were evaluated by measuring different chemical, biochemical and microbiological parameters 9 months after the fire.

Effects of Fire on Factors Controlling Plant Growth in Adenostoma Chaparral
TL;DR: The effects of fire on factors of potential importance to this plant response were examined in recently burned and long unburned chaparral, dominated by Adenostoma fasciculatum, in the Santa Ynez Mountains near Santa Barbara, California as mentioned in this paper.
