Abstract
Fire is a critical component of the fynbos ecosystem and this study documents the macronutrient (C1, Na, So4, Mg, Ca and K) dynamics of the fynbos for one year following a major fire event on 3 June 2010. Chloride and sodium in rainwater and stream water were found to be primarily derived from a marine aerosol source.
