Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the impact of wildfire on soil properties and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in different land types in Bartin Province, Turkey, one year post-wildfire.
- Results indicated that soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, and AMF root colonization were highest in burnt rangeland, despite a decrease in AMF species diversity.
- The findings suggest that while the number of AMF spores increased after the wildfire, the reduced diversity of AMF species highlights the need to choose specific AMF species for restoration efforts in high fire-risk ecosystems.
This research was conducted to compare the soil characteristics and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) spore density from different types of pastures. To this purpose, four different areas were selected including an artificial pasture (AP), a fertilized artificial pasture (FAP), a natural pasture (NP), and a fertilized natural pasture (FNP). From the spring period of 2008, urea has been used as a fertilizer at an annual rate of 5 kg/da.

In order to achieve this aim, rhizosphere soil samples from grassland crops were taken during June and July of 2013 in order to use for determining several soil characteristics. The 27 different taxa and 60 soil samples were collected from the rhizosphere level in the study areas.
