Excerpt from Effects of Fire on Soil: A State-of-Knowledge Review, Prepared for the Forest Service, National Fire Effects Workshop, Denver, Colo., April 10-14, 1978
It is important to understand the effects of fire on forest-and range soils. This knowl edge provides a basis for developing guides to the effective use of prescribed fire and for determining the situations where wildfires can be minimized or prevented by using prescribed fires.
The catastrophic effects of uncontrolled fires on the soil have been observed fre quently following wildfires. There is a need for evaluating those burning situations where fire effects are less. Dramatic than during wildfires so the tradeoffs between prescribed burning and/or other means of vegetation manipulation can be compared. For example, burning volatilizes nitrogen, an essential element for plant growth; how ever, the loss of some nitrogen by burning might become a more acceptable alternative than large soil losses occurring after the use of heavy mechanical equipment. Likewise, several light or moderately controlled burns possibly have less impact on the soil than a single severe wildfire that may result from a large fuel accumulation.
