IMPACT OF FOREST FIRE SEVERITY ON SOIL PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES IN PINE AND SCRUB FORESTS IN HIGH ANDEAN ZONES OF PERU

Impact of forest fire severity on soil physical and chemical properties in pine and scrub forests in high Andean zones of Peru

Forest fires are the main threat to ecosystems and human life.The frequency, seasonality, extent and severity of fires affect ecosystems and the physical and chemical properties of the soil by direct (heating) and indirect (ash) effects.This could affect biodiversity and forest residency in the face of climate change.In this study, we evaluated the
