Cultural burning, a practice used by Indigenous communities in Australia for thousands of years, has been found to be more beneficial for soil health than prescribed burning or no burning at all, according to new research. Both cultural burning and prescribed burning increased soil moisture and organic matter, while reducing soil density. However, cultural burning was found to be the most effective in boosting soil carbon and nitrogen, as well as reducing soil density, which improves the soil's ability to support plant growth. Understanding the effects of different fire management techniques is crucial for sustainable land management and promoting healthy ecosystems. Embracing Indigenous wisdom and supporting Indigenous-led fire practices not only benefits the environment but also recognizes the deep cultural and spiritual connections Indigenous communities have with the land.
