Abstract
⺠Effects of long-term repeated prescribed burnings on soil N2O fluxes were measured. ⺠More frequent (2 yearly burning) reduced soil N substrate availability and N2O fluxes. ⺠Prescribed burning did not affect the abundance of most denitrification genes. ⺠Less frequent fire (4 yearly burning) promoted the microbial resilience after fire. ⺠Soil edaphic factors, not gene abundance, explains the variation in the N2O fluxes.
