Resumen

En 2012, dieciocho años después de un incendio forestal que tuvo lugar en 1994 y quemó una plantación de Pinus pinaster, se analiza la estabilidad de los agregados del suelo comparándolos con los agregados de una zona control sin quemar. El área quemada, justo después del incendio, se dividió en tres zonas, baja, media y alta intensidad de fuego, dependiendo de la intensidad a la que se quemaron cada una de las tres áreas. Los resultados de este muestreo en 2012 se comparan con los análisis de los agregados del suelo efectuados en 1994 y en 1995. Los resultados muestran que dieciocho años después del incendio los agregados son menos estables en las zonas quemadas basados en dos métodos de análisis y que las diferencias entre las zonas quemadas no son significativas. El hecho que el suelo de la zona control tenga más materia orgánica y más concentración de elementos químicos, como el calcio, magnesio y hierro, parece ser el factor determinante de una mayor estabilidad de los agregados más superficiales en la zona control.
