Short-term changes in soil functionality after wildfire and straw mulching in a Pinus halepensis M. forest

Understanding the changes in physicochemical and microbiological soil properties induced by straw soil mulching is very important in the Mediterranean environment, where forest ecosystems are particularly prone to erosion and degradation risks. To fill this gap, this study has evaluated the seasonal changes (from spring to autumn) in important physicochemical soil properties, such as pH or soil organic matter, and enzymatic activities, such as...
