This study examines how laboratory burns affect microbial community resistance, resilience, and function in two boreal forest soil types, finding variable responses and links to carbon use efficiency.

This study investigates how subsequent fires affect pyrogenic organic matter (PyOM) by testing heat fluxes and burial depths, finding that PyOM is combusted and altered, impacting carbon storage.

This study measures how burning affects carbon use efficiency (CUE) in boreal forest soils using different substrates, finding that burning reduces glucose-specific CUE but has a smaller effect on pine-specific CUE.

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.
