Improved Nutrient Retention and Sequestration of Post-Wildfire Soil Using Engineered Fungi Mycelium Bioremediation
After wildfires, burned soils become susceptible to erosion and nutrient depletion due to the loss of vegetation cover and increased exposure to hydrological and environmental stressors. The leaching of essential nutrients for vegetative growth prolongs soil stabilization and delays recovery. To enhance post-wildfire soil rehabilitation and restoration, bio-stimulants and engineered fungal mycelium present a promising approach for promoting nutrient sequestration and retention within destabilized soils. This study explores effective bioremediation strategies through bio-stimulation and targeted fungal inoculation, aiming to develop a sustainable solution for wildfire-affected soil recovery.
