Abstract
Vegetation analysis and field survey on soil infiltration capacity have been carried out in the site of Ehime and Kagawa prefectural boundary forest fire in February 1985. Four investigations were carried out until 1998, 13 years after the forest fire. In the vegetation analysis, there were an increase of the number of the species and a change from pioneer species into high shade tolerance in each plot. Therefore the quantitative and qualitative change of the vegetation was confirmed. The infiltration capacity of soil surface lowered after the fire, and there was a tendency of recovery. However, there was a difference of recovery by slope azimuth and slope position. As a result, though the vegetation recovers right after the fire by the sprouting, soil recovery was slower than that of the vegetation. This may be due to the fact that the soil is formed by humification of litters and other factors.
