Wildfires have been significantly increasing in number in the Mediterranean in the last decade. A review published in the open access journal Land MDPI looks at the impact of wildfires on soil, specifically on soil ecosystem services and functions. The review, cited in BBC Future, explores how forest fires result in a negative impact on soil functionality and services. The authors emphasize that the significant release of energy results in great damage, including runoff and soil erosion, risk to animal and human life, damage to infrastructure and soil degradation. The study provides a foundation for the development of short-term actions and forest restoration strategies to mitigate the effect of the devastation caused by wildfires.
