Functional diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities is reduced by trace element contamination
(Elsevier, 2018)
Trait-based approaches are useful tools to explain ecological assembly rules and ecosystem functioning. However, their use for soil microbiota has not been explored in depth yet. We explored trait-based functional changes ...

Novel energy crops for Mediterranean contaminated lands: Valorization of Dittrichia viscosa and Silybum marianum biomass by pyrolysis
(Elsevier, 2017)
Establishing energy crops could be a cost-efficient alternative towards the valorization of the plant biomass produced in contaminated lands, where they would not compete with food production for land use. Dittrichia viscosa ...

Biological and chemical factors controlling the patchy distribution of soil water repellency among plant species in a Mediterranean semiarid forest
(Elsevier, 2013)
Natural soil water repellency is a property that has already been observed in forest soils and is characterized by its patchy distribution. There are many factors involved in its development. In this work, we have studied ...

Effects of fire on ash thickness in a Lithuanian grassland and short-term spatio-temporal changes
(European Geosciences Union, 2012-12)
Ash thickness is a key variable in the protection of soil against erosion agents after planned and unplanned fires. Thicker ash provides better protection against raindrop impact and reduces the runoff response by retaining ...

Short-term impact of prescribed fire on soil pH, organic matter and hydrophobicity in a Calluna vulgaris heathland located in Lithuania. First results
(Red Tematica Nacional Efectos de los Incendios Forestales sobre los Suelos (FuegoRED), 2015)
The aim of this work is study the short-term effects of a prescribed fire used for landscape management on soil pH, organic matter (SOM) and soil water repellency in different size fractions (2-1, 1-0.5, 0.5-0.25 and <0.25 ...

Spatial Gradients of Intensity and Persistence of Soil Water Repellency Under Different Forest Types in Central Mexico
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2017)
Organic residues release hydrophobic compounds to the soil that may induce soil water repellency (WR), which may inhibit infiltration andincrease runoff and soil loss rates. Although there are many studies on soil WR through ...

Stones resting on the top soil cause heterogeneous patterns of fire-induced water repellency
(2014)
Depending on soil and fire characteristics, soil water repellency (SWR) may be induced, enhanced or destroyed by burning. The spatial pattern of SWR may be extremely heterogeneous as a consequence of the temperature peaks, ...

Do stones modify the spatial distribution of fire induced soil water repellency? Preliminary data
(FUEGORED, 2013)
Water repellency is a property of many fire-affected soils that contributes to delayed wetting rates and shows many hydrological and geomorphological consequences. Fire-induced soil water repellency (SWR) may be modulated ...

El tipo de vegetación y la presencia de cenizas como factores en la evolución temporal de la repelencia al agua tras un incendio forestal
(FUEGORED, 2013)
Tras un incendio forestal, el fuego puede inducir la aparición de repelencia al agua del suelo. La repelencia al agua del suelo puede variar en el espacio y el tiempo en función de la vegetación, la presencia de cenizas ...

Short-term microbial response after laboratory heating and ground mulching adition
(FUEGORED, 2015)
Fire alters soil organic matter inducing quantitative and qualitative changes that presumably will affect post-fire soil microbial recolonisation. Several studies have evidenced marked soil organic carbon reduction after ...
