Effects of fire and fire-induced changes in soil properties on post-burn soil respiration

This study examines how fire and soil property changes affect post-burn soil respiration in boreal forests, finding reduced respiration rates and altered carbon cycling patterns.

An empirical approach to developing and testing a traits-based fire ecology framework for bacterial response to wildfires

The paper investigates how fire-adaptive strategies shape bacterial communities in boreal forest soils after wildfires, finding varying impacts over time and burn severity.

Resilience in soil bacterial communities of the boreal forest from one to five years after wildfire across a severity gradient

The paper examines soil bacterial community resilience five years post-wildfire across a severity gradient, finding increased similarity to unburned sites and persistent enrichment of specific taxa.
