Near-surface soil temperature and moisture around log erosion barriers and coarse woody debris in a burnt Pinus nigra forest.

Near-surface soil moisture and temperature were collected with hand-held probes in a burnt Pinus nigra forest in Central Italy (Urbino). Measurements were taken at various distances from logs laying on the ground, both naturally fallen tree boles, and log erosion barriers built after the fire. Collection was performed in nine dates during summer 2022 to check the influence of these biological legacies (logs) on the environment (soil moisture, temperature) during the harsher season of the year in the study area.
