The soil microbiome governs biogeochemical cycling of macronutrients, micronutrients and
other elements vital for the growth of plants and animal life. Understanding and predicting …

Communities of soil microorganisms (soil microbiomes) play a major role in biogeochemical
cycles and support of plant growth. Here we focus primarily on the roles that the soil …

Forest soil microbiomes have crucial roles in carbon storage, biogeochemical cycling and
rhizosphere processes. Wildfire season length, and the frequency and size of severe fires …

Increasing wildfire severity, which is common throughout the western United States, can
have deleterious effects on plant regeneration and large impacts on carbon (C) and nitrogen …

In an increasingly flammable world, wildfire is altering the terrestrial carbon balance.
However, the degree to which novel wildfire regimes disrupt biological function remains …

The biogeochemical signature of fire shapes the functioning of many ecosystems. Fire
changes nutrient cycles not only by volatilizing plant material, but also by altering organic …

Micobial community (diversity and functional traits) underpin the sustainability of
agroecosystems. Assembly processes influence microbial community composition and in …

Disturbances fundamentally alter ecosystem functions, yet predicting their impacts remains a
key scientific challenge. While the study of disturbances is ubiquitous across many …
