On December 11 and 12, 2018, the personnel of the Zaidín Experimental Station (EEZ / CSIC) with the help of operators from the Ministry of Environment and Territorial Planning (CMAOT) conducted soil samplings prior to burning. A total of 48 soil samples were taken (24 in an area that will be grazed and another 24 in another adjacent area that will not be pastored). Samples were differentiated according to the criteria of fuel load ranges adopted by CMAOT (1: very little load, high percentage of mineral soil, 2: vegetation of a certain height coverage <50%, 3: dense espartal, 4: dense gorse) , criterion that was used in previous vegetation sampling.
