1 Introduction Over recent decades, the increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires worldwide have raised concerns about their effects on soil systems, especially in tropical regions where highly weathered soils predominate and remain poorly investigated under fire conditions. The impacts of fire on soils are highly variable and are determined by the type of event, the amount of biomass consumed, and by fire intensity and duration (Certini 2005; Keeley 2009).
