Forests influence climate and mitigate global change through the storage of carbon in soils.
In turn, these complex ecosystems face important challenges, including increases in carbon …

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 effects of climate change and natural disasters on fungal pathogens and the risks for
fungal diseases remain incompletely understood. In this literature review, we examined how …

Wildfires are part of the natural cycle of life in vegetated regions. The apparent increase in
size and frequency of recent years reflects land management legacy, expansion of human …

Measuring the growth rate of a microorganism is a simple yet profound way to quantify its
effect on the world. The absolute growth rate of a microbial population reflects rates of …

Wildfires are a growing concern to society and the environment in many parts of the world.
Within the United States, the land area burned by wildfires has steadily increased over the …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM), the most reactive fraction of forest soil organic matter, is
increasingly impacted by wildfires worldwide. However, few studies have quantified the …

Heating temperature (HT) during forest fires is a critical factor in regulating the quantity and
quality of pyrogenic dissolved organic matter (DOM). However, the temperature thresholds …

Microbiomics is the science of characterizing microbial community structure, function, and
dynamics. It has great potential to advance our understanding of plant–soil–microbe …

Wildfires represent major ecological disturbances, burning 2–3% of Earth's terrestrial area
each year with sometimes drastic effects above-and belowground. Soil bacteria offer an …
