Abstract

In a Mediterranean shrubland on light brown soils close to Novorossiisk, Russia, the abundance and diversity of soil macrofauna after fires were lower than in the control (53 ± 23 individuals/m2 after 2 years, 95 ± 23 after 7 years, and 219 ± 77 in the control). The distribution became patchier and the patches shrank. Soil macroinvertebrates were correlated with the patches of less-burned litter over the burned plots.
