- W3206637983 abstract "Forest fires cause many changes in the physical, chemical and biological soil properties such as aggregation and soil organic carbon contents (SOC) as well as on soil hydrology and erosion processes. Most studies on post-fire soil erosion in Mediterranean environments have been plot-based and research at hillslope or broader scale is scarce. Understanding SOC nature, distribution and modifications, as produced by forest fires and erosion, has become crucial to model and define the role of soil erosion as source or sink of C, and to sustainably manage ecosystem services related to the soil resource. This research provides data about the loss and redistribution of soil and SOC in a Mediterranean forest hillslope burned with high severity, at the Natural Park of Sierra de Espadán, Spain. Soil was sampled in coupled hillslopes (ca. 0.25 ha) (BU: burned, CO: control) at bottom (depositional), middle (transport) and top positions (eroding) at two depths (0–2 cm, 2–5 cm), and under two environments (UC: under canopy soil, BS: bare soil). Sediments were collected after each erosive event along one year, and yields were calculated. Samples were analysed to assess aggregate stability (AS), size and density fractionations, SOC contents and stocks. The main hypothesis is that fire affects soil characteristics related to aggregation and SOC stabilization and, together with erosion processes, may modify SOC distribution within aggregates and the burned hillslope. Soils were in general very stable, but some differences in the results of the methods used were observed. Significant differences were found for the environment (under canopy vs bare) and soil depth but not for slope position. SOC content was high both at BU and CO with no significant differences. In the BU hillslope, a homogenization of SOC contents was observed along the hillslope, while in the CO, a higher SOC content was measured in the depositional and transport sites than in the eroding one. Similar trends were observed for SOC stocks. Only four erosive rain events were registered in this study, which generated no sediment yields in CO hillslope. In the BU one, sediment yields were measured (0.05–0.58 Mg ha−1, total 0.925 Mg ha y−1), which mobilised OC amounts ranging between 0.005 and 0.04 MgC ha−1. When samples were fractioned, changes were observed in the mass distribution of soil and sediment aggregates by size and density, and in the OC content between density fractions of BU soils with regard to sediment and CO soils. According to the results, effective post-fire management should be oriented to control and reduce the erosion of aggregates < 2 mm, which present the highest SOC content and are very prone to be transported off-site. This fraction should include all the partially burned biomass (free light material), which acts as a first mulching and contains high amounts of OC that should be kept within the burned hillslope to increase soil fertility, promote vegetation recovery and act as a C sink. In the BU hillslope, eroded free light material might be buried at the depositional site and if the conditions are favourable for its conservation, SOC accumulation would be promoted, which may have implications for its stabilization, and the role of soil erosion as a C sink." @default.
