I'm not sure of its effect on soils, but around here there are a couple reasons.
Landscape biodiversity (the oaks are out competing pine stands in a lot of cases where natural fire has been suppressed), safety (to reduce fuel loads on the forest floor), and habitat restoration for hunting (in Pa this is a large focus) and species support.
Here is a great picture Ben Jones presented at the NAFSE workshop my college hosted a few weeks ago:
