Almost half of the total organic carbon (C) in terrestrial ecosystems is stored in forest soils.
By altering rates of input or release of C from soils, forest management activities can …

The influence of forest management on fungal diversity and community composition has
been the subject of a wide number of studies over the last two decades. However, the …

Global fire regimes are shifting due to climate and land use changes. Understanding the
responses of belowground communities to fire is key to predicting changes in the ecosystem …

Soil microbes regulate the transfer of carbon (C) from ecosystems to the atmosphere and in
doing so influence feedbacks between terrestrial ecosystems and global climate change …

After severe wildfires, pine recovery depends on ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal spores
surviving and serving as partners for regenerating forest trees. We took advantage of a …

Green-tree retention cutting (GTR) is a modification of traditional clear-cutting, aimed at
better consideration of biodiversity. We reviewed 214 North American and European studies …

Due to land use history, most of the current temperate and boreal forests are developed on
nutrient-poor and rocky soils, kee** fertile soils for agriculture. Consequently, the …

Soil fungal communities perform many functions that help plants meet their nutritional
demands. However, overall trends for fungal response to fire, which can be especially …

Wildfire activity is projected to increase in boreal forests as a result of climate warming. The
consequences of increased wildfire activity for soil carbon (C) storage in boreal forests may …

Wildfire is the dominant disturbance in boreal forests and fire activity is increasing in these
regions. Soil fungal communities are important for plant growth and nutrient cycling postfire …
