Answer:

Explanation as below.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • As soil is composed of organic matter that includes the carbon contents, the fire regime leaves a bad impact on the soil nutrients such as bleaching of nutrients and minerals, also the crop fires are a common type of regime followed in various vegetation clearance practices.
  • The dissolved soil organic content includes acids, fats, sugars, proteins, enzymes, and hydrocarbon fuels. As all organic matter consists of carbon , inorganic carbon is extracted from ores and minerals. DOC is abundant in minerals and freshwater.
  • Also, forest fire on shrublands kills bacteria and fungi in soil surfaces. Loss of soil matter and increased bulk density can decrease the water keeping the holding capacity of the soil. Surface erosion by wind or gravity can also increase when ground cover.
