Effects of wildfire and logging on soil functionality in the short-term in Pinus halepensis M. forests

Salvage logging is thought to have negative impacts on soil functionality because it may increase soil compaction and reduce vegetation cover and soil organic matter content. We investigated whether and to what extent burning and subsequent logging initially altered soil functionality of a Mediterranean forest of Pinus halepensis M. Soil functionality indicators (e.g. soil enzyme activities, basal soil respiration, glomalin-related soil protein,...
