Changes in marsh soils for six months after a fireAn examination is conducted of changes in soil-nutrient levels in marsh systems after a fire, in conjunction with studies of particulates and gases generated by such biomass combustion. Attention is given to data covering six months after the fire. It is noted that changes in soil property occur at different times after the fire, and persist for different intervals; this implies a need for long-term postfire observations. The marshes studied were representative of a variety of graminoid wetlands in the southeastern U.S. which periodically burn either naturally or upon prescription. Nitrogen transformations in flooded soils differ from those in well-drained ones.
