Abstract :
The current research was conducted to analyze the chemical properties of the soil of Margalla Hills of Pakistan affected by fire in comparison with un-burnt soil of the same area. Soil texture is affected by combustion but with the revival of nature plants, soil properties turn to pre-burn status. A study of fire affected soil revealed that soil properties were significantly improved on burnt soils than on the un-burnt site and the response was attributed changes in the host plant.
