Fire significantly affects soil properties because organic matter (om) located on, or near, the soil surface is rapidly combusted. The changes in om, in turn, affect several chemical, physical, and microbiological properties of the underlying soil.

The objectives of this study were to identify yield‐limiting soil properties and to investigate the relationship between soil properties and topographical variables and their relationship.
Salinity and sodicity can affect soil chemical, physical and hydraulic properties.
Low-intensity fires did not lower soil organic matter contents or alter soil physical properties. Plant removal and harvesting gap treatments had little effect on soil.
When a soil is compacted, it changes its engineering properties and thereby behaves differently. Some of the engineering properties which changes on application of compactive effort is briefly described below.

Fire effects on soil properties brings together current research on the effects of fire on the physical, biological and chemical properties of soil. Written by over 60 international experts in the field, it includes examples from fire-prone areas across the world, dealing with ash, meso and macrofauna, smouldering fires, recurrent fires and management of fire-affected soils.
This study focuses primarily on inherent soil vari-ability, where probabilistic analyses can be employed to assess the effect of this type of variability on slope stability. The importance of the spatial correlation struc-ture of soil properties is highlighted and its effect on the stability of slope is studied.
