Abstract:Prescribed re is a manner to decrease the amount of fuel which, otherwise, would be subjected to wild res. However, the effect of such practice on soil physical properties still needs attention. The objective of the present study was to assess the effect of prescribed re on some physical variables of a soil under the Brazilian Tropical Savanna, a re-prone ecosystem. To do so, we sampled water repellency, in ltration capacity, and soil resistance to penetration in burned (prescribed re) and unburned adjacent pl… Show more
