Variable Fire Behavior Causes Greater Bacterial and Fungal Richness

Results of research in forest health and forest futures in Utah. Key Results 1. Fire reduces microbial richness Nine years after fire, burned soils had 19 - 31% lower richness, compared to unburned refugia. 2. Pathogens like it hot? Pathogens made up a larger proportion of burned communities compared to unburned refugia. 3. Unburned refugia communities are tough Refugia communities had greater resistance to disturbance than burned communities.

Abstract

Results of research in forest health and forest futures in Utah. Key Results 1. Fire reduces microbial richness Nine years after fire, burned soils had 19 - 31% lower richness, compared to unburned refugia. 2. Pathogens like it hot? Pathogens made up a larger proportion of burned communities compared to unburned refugia. 3. Unburned refugia communities are tough Refugia communities had greater resistance to disturbance than burned communities.
