Abstract

In Sect. 5.1.2, we discussed root fortification for slopes. Under natural circumstances, wildfires can cause perturbations on ecosystems and also have landslide consequences. Actually, fires are important in driving land cover change (Fig. 9.1). Decades are needed for damaged forest stands to recover fully and even longer time periods are required for the restoration of soil nutrients.
