These results point to a clear gap: the lack of effective land management in many fire-affected regions.
Persistent post-fire erosion appears closely linked to long-term land degradation, highlighting the need to prioritize post-fire land management.

Recovery after fire is often incomplete.
Globally, only 39% of cumulatively burned areas recovered between 2001β2019. Recovery is particularly limited in Africa (46%) and Europe (56%), even after single fire events, leaving soils exposed to ongoing erosion.

One key result: post-fire soil erosion is persistent and cumulative.
Although erosion peaks after fire, nearly 70% of annual post-fire soil erosion is driven by past wildfires, while only ~30% comes from the most recent fire year.
