Effects of Fire and Invasive Plants on Desert Soils: Research Brief

Fire  and  invasive  species  may  cause  changes  in   biological,  chemical,  and  physical properties of   desert  soils.  Although  soil  may  recover  from  the   impacts  of  fire  during  succession,  these  changes   are  permanent  under  persistent invasive  species.
