英文摘要 | After a wildfire, moss crust develops in early post-fire stages revealing important roles related to soil erosion prevention and increase of soil fertility. However, the post-fire management selected could determine the capacity of soil to recover and the active role of mosses in the ecosystem recovery. Salvage logging (SL) was performed in the wildfire that occurred in July 2012 in Sierra de Mariola Natural Park (E Spain), with detrimental consequences to soils in the short-term. The aim of the study is to assess if the presence of a biocrust dominated by mosses six years after the wildfire improved the soil quality and functions, and if the salvage logging management influenced the process. Our results showed that the SL management affected in a medium-term to the percentage of soil covered by mosses, reaching 78.4% in control soils compared to 56% in SL soils. Regarding the influence of mosses in soils, our results did not show greater differences in the physical parameters measured, hydraulic conductivity, water repellency and soil penetration resistance, possibly related to the lower developmental stages of the biocrust. However, it was observed that the presence of mosses played a significant role in both the soil fertility and the microbial activity. The improvement in soil fertility was registered mainly in the organic carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous contents, and for the microbial parameters, for which higher values for the microbial biomass carbon and basal soil respiration were reached in soils under mosses. In conclusion, we can suggest that mosses had an important role in the functional recovery of degraded ecosystems after wildfires, and therefore we encourage considering the presence of mosses in the post-fire managements. |
