Fuel buildup shapes post-fire fuel decomposition through soil heating effects on plants, fungi, and soil chemistry

J. R. Hopkins, T. A. Semenova-Nelsen, J. M. Huffman, N. J. Jones, K. M. Robertson, W. J. Platt, B. A. Sikes

The paper quantifies how pre-fire fuel loads affect post-fire fuel decomposition through soil heating, showing increased soil heating reduces decomposition of new fuels.

Environmental legacy effects impact maize growth and microbiome assembly under drought stress

J. F. Swift, M. R. Kolp, A. Carmichael, N. E. Ford, P. M. Hansen, B. A. Sikes, M. Kleiner, M. R. Wagner

The paper shows that historical soil moisture conditions influence maize growth and root microbiome composition under drought, with wetter soils improving drought tolerance.
