| Abstract | Burning had the greatest impact on soils beneath burned debris piles. Electrical conductivity, phosphorus, potassium, percent nitrogen, and percent organic carbon increased significantly at all soil depths the first year after burning debris piles. No impact was evident on phosphorus, percent nitrogen, and percent organic carbon by the second year. Impacts on burned interspace areas were generally less pronounced and few impacts were measured the second year. Impact of burning on soil pH was minor. Burning as a management tool is becoming increasingly important within the pinyon-juniper (Pinus spp.-Juniperus spp.) type. Wright et al. (1979) have recently reviewed the role and use of fire in pinyon-juniper plant communities. Wells et al. (1979) have indicated that under rangeland conditions, effects of fire on organ |
