Outline of Final Research Achievements

Ongoing climatic warming has triggered large-scale wildfires in many regions, which have a large potential to modify carbon dynamics in terrestrial ecosystems. Vegetation recovery following crown fires is one of the most dominant factor that determine carbon cycling. However, post-fire soil properties have been less focused in terms of their contributions to support plant growth and thus vegetation development. Here, based on intensive field works, , this study aimed to quantify biotic and abiotic properties of soil, including belowground plant materials left after fires, and how they are involved in recovery of post-fire ecosystems.
