Fire and biodiversity in the Anthropocene
BACKGROUND Fire has shaped the diversity of life on Earth for millions of years. Variation
in fire regimes continues to be a source of biodiversity across the globe, and many plants …

Focus on changing fire regimes: interactions with climate, ecosystems, and society
Fire is a complex Earth system phenomenon that fundamentally affects vegetation
distributions, biogeochemical cycling, climate, and human society across most of Earth's …

Soil bacterial and fungal response to wildfires in the Canadian boreal forest across a burn severity gradient
Global fire regimes are changing, with increases in wildfire frequency and severity expected
for many North American forests over the next 100 years. Fires can result in dramatic …

High‐severity wildfire leads to multi‐decadal impacts on soil biogeochemistry in mixed‐conifer forests
During the past century, systematic wildfire suppression has decreased fire frequency and
increased fire severity in the western United States of America. While this has resulted in …

Changes in soil fungal community composition depend on functional group and forest disturbance type
Disturbances have altered community dynamics in boreal forests with unknown
consequences for belowground ecological processes. Soil fungi are particularly sensitive to …

Experimentally determined traits shape bacterial community composition one and five years following wildfire
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 …

Wildfire severity reduces richness and alters composition of soil fungal communities in boreal forests of western Canada
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Impacts of wildfire on soil microbiome in Boreal environments
The temperature changes for the future climate are predicted to be the most pronounced in
boreal and arctic regions, affecting the stability of permafrost and fire dynamics of these …

Crown‐fire severity is more important than ground‐fire severity in determining soil fungal community development in the boreal forest
Wildfire shapes the structure, dynamic and functioning of boreal forests. With predicted
warmer and drier summers, increased incidence and intensity of crown‐fires may affect plant …
