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.

Short-interval reburns in the boreal forest alter soil bacterial communities, reflecting increased pH and poor conifer seedling establishment

This study examines how short-interval reburns in boreal forests affect soil bacterial communities, finding changes in composition but not richness, and identifying specific taxa associated with fire frequency.

Microbial community shifts reflect losses of native soil carbon with pyrogenic and fresh organic matter additions and are greatest in low-carbon soils

The paper investigates how microbial community shifts in response to pyrogenic and fresh organic matter additions affect native soil carbon loss, finding greater impacts in low-carbon soils.

Soil Bacterial and Fungal Response to Wildfires in the Canadian Boreal Forest Across a Burn Severity Gradient

The paper examines how wildfires affect soil microbial communities in the Canadian boreal forest, finding that burn severity predicts microbial composition and identifies fire-responsive taxa.
