This study was conducted following the fres that took place in Rocallaura (Spain) between 23/06/2016 and 19/07/2017. The aim is to analyse the importance of soil on forest planning and management mechanisms to mitigate the impacts of forest fre re-ignitions on risk and management framework. The main factors found to infuence the occurrence of re-ignitions in a forest ecosystem dominated by Pinus halepensis were weather conditions, possible future climatic changes, soil and subsoil biomass amount and the physico-chemical properties of the organic layer. The re-ignition dynamics were included in the study as a new parameter—fre persistence—to be considered in fre regimes. It is proposed that fre persistence should be included in strategic framework for integrating wildfre risk in forest planning. This will entail identifying and including the potential for re-ignition in fre risk maps and fre suppression policies and implementing forest management actions in areas vulnerable to re-ignition.
