- W2103702461 abstract "Soil moisture has widely been identified as a key factor for vegetation distribution in semi-arid areas. In the forest-steppe ecotone of the Khentii Mountains in northern Mongolia, soil moisture is directly controlled by exposition, slope, the presence or absence of permafrost, and vegetation cover. This study investigates the distribution of soil moisture and highlights the effects of a recent wildfire on this fragile ecosystem. Steep southerly exposed slopes are permafrost free and covered with steppe vegetation. Here, relatively warm and dry soils prevail, and high drying rates were observed following precipitation events during the summer period. The less inclined northerly exposed slopes are covered with taiga and feature relatively cold and wet soils overlying permafrost. Following a wildfire, the mean thickness of the organic surface layer drastically decreased from 0.15 m in the pristine taiga to 0.03 m in a heavily burned forest. As vegetation removal directly reduced evapotranspiration, soils in the burned forest were significantly the wettest and soil drying was less pronounced. Simultaneously, permafrost degradation was enhanced due to a significant increase in soil temperature. Thus, the conversion of forest areas to steppe after wildfires appears to be a long-term and possibly irreversible process during the ongoing climatic trend." @default.
