“…In other studies, the N content of soil has been shown to decrease with heating or burning (White et al 1973;Ellis & Graley 1983). Also, White et al (1973) and Raison et al (1985) showed that the amount of N remaining in ash depends on the temperature and the degree of combustion. In the present study, losses of N from the combustion of organic matter were probably not as large as losses from intense fires in dry slash because lower surface temperatures would result from the diffuse nature of fuels and the rapid convection of heat away from the surface.…”

“…2) indicate that there were substantial losses of N, S and K from the sites. These are the elements shown to be most vulnerable to loss to the atmosphere in particulate and non-particulate forms (Allen 1964;Debell & Ralston 1970;Raison et al 1985). The increased amounts of N in surface soils after the fire are greater than expected considering the large losses of N that can occur by volatilization (Debell & Ralston 1970;Raison et al 1985).…”

“…This interpretation is supported by the corresponding changes in biomass, soil pH, soil moisture, and DOC/TDN that we observed (Figure 2). Both the dominant species and the quantity of ash added to the plot after the fire would influence soil pH [81][82][83], variation in pH here is a reasonable proxy for fire intensity (Figure A3). At higher pH, organic compounds become more soluble and therefore more prone to leaching after wildfires in western forests [84].…”
