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 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 soil fungal community resilience in boreal forests one to five years after wildfire across different burn severities, finding no evidence of resilience and identifying fire-responsive taxa.

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.
