Fire use is a common practice in agriculture, so it is important to understand its effects on soil properties for better soil management. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of fire on the physical, chemical, and nutritional characteristics of the soil on forest vocation lands in Jipijapa, Manabí, Ecuador. A non-experimental design was used to develop the research. Ten plots were delimited in fuels stacked in rows and three in dispersed fuels. The analyses considered meteorological variables, fuel material, and fire behavior, as well as some physical, chemical and nutritional characteristics of the soil before and after burning. The differences in the mean values of the fuel material variables and fire behavior parameters were statistically significant, being greater in the plots located in stacked fuels. In both types of plots, three months after burning, the mean values of soil characteristics, although lower and statistically different from those before the fire was applied, reached levels numerically similar, some higher in the case of dispersed fuels. The study provides information that, although limited by the short time used to make the measurements after burning, can be used for decision-making in the context of regulating the use of fire on forest vocation lands.
