1.- Increasing the mechanical stability

Through a phased integrated plan the damaged soil needs to recover and keep its ability to resist erosion or surface failures.

 

2.- Altering structural characteristics of the soil to enhance its resistance to wind and water erosion

Identifying how particles are arranged and bound allows the practice of altering them for protecting the soil. Adding stable aggregates as cyanobacteria biomass and/or alginate-urea can promote biological binding and improve chemical bonding of the particles.

 

3.- Boosting re-establishment of the soil microbiome

After severe wildfire there is the need to rebuild the habitat of the damaged microbiome and restore the complex food webs. Continued moisture should be maintained.
