Fire is a natural component of many ecosystems, which include
plants and animals that interact with one another and with their
physical environment. There is much yet to be learned about how
fire affects ecosystems. Each fire and each ecosystem has unique
properties. Fire alters the physical and chemical properties and
the microbial population of the soil. Though there are number of
studies available concerning to fire in natural forests and
grasslands, but studies related to fire in restored ecosystems
particularly in mined restored areas are very few. Sequential
development in vegetation communities, amelioration of site quality
with reference to soil fertility and microbial activities are
integral processes followed in restored ecosystem and how these
processes are deviated from its natural way in an event of fire is
a matter of great interest to the ecologists. Moreover, there have
been very few studies on soil microbial biomass so far in context
to mined areas especially in India so far. Present work is an
attempt made by the authors in this perspective.
