Wildfires are becoming more common, especially on the Chinese Loess Plateau. Scientists heated loess samples in the lab to see how it affects the soil. They found that heating below 400°C didn't change much, but higher temperatures caused important changes by forming aggregates. These changes in structure and composition can impact erosion and debris flow in fire-affected areas.
