How mediterranean ecosystem deals with wildfire impact on soil ecosystem services and functions: a review

Wildfires are a common phenomenon in Mediterranean environments. This study seeks to synthesize the main results of existing studies from the last decade on this topic and to highlight the need for managing soil impacted by wildfires in the Mediterranean environment. Researchers have found that the...
