Soil phosphorus (P), which is essential for ecosystem functioning, undergoes notable changes after fire. However, the extent to which fire characteristics affect P dynamics remains largely unknown. This study investigated the impact of type of fire (prescribed burning and natural wildfires) of different levels of severity on P dynamics in Mediterranean soils. Soil P concentrations in the organic layers were str...
Contar con distintas herramientas de planificación territorial inconexas entre sí hace que se desaprovechen muchas de las sinergias potencialmente existentes entre ambas. Esto resulta más que evidente en el caso de la planificación forestal y la de conservación de la biodiversidad: planificaciones que operan sobre un mismo espacio físico, e incluso sobre unos mismos elementos y en la que se desaprovechan oportu...
Only Portugal, Spain, France and Italy are considered in this chapter, because prescribed burning is not practiced elsewhere in southern Europe, despite the late 1960s pioneering experimentation of Liacos (1974) in Greece.
