Why are forest fires generally neglected in soil fauna research? A mini-review

2016-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Climate change, unpredictable dry spells and human population growth are expected to increase the frequency of forest fires. Forest fires induce damage on soil ecosystems and seriously compromise their functionality and provision of ecosystem services. They reduce diversity in many soil organism groups, although they also support flora and fauna dependent on fires. Fires disrupt in the cycling of nutrients, and ha...
