Fire as a driver of fungal diversity—A synthesis of current knowledge
Fires occur in most terrestrial ecosystems where they drive changes in the traits,
composition, and diversity of fungal communities. Fires range from rare, stand-replacing …

Wildfire impacts on root‐associated fungi and predicted plant–soil feedbacks in the boreal forest: research progress and recommendations
Root‐associated fungi play a critical role in plant ecophysiology, growth and subsequent
responses to disturbances, so they are thought to be particularly instrumental in shaping …

High-severity wildfire reduces richness and alters composition of ectomycorrhizal fungi in low-severity adapted ponderosa pine forests
Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests are increasingly experiencing high-severity,
stand-replacing fires. Whereas alterations to aboveground ecosystems have been …

Limitations to propagule dispersal will constrain postfire recovery of plants and fungi in western coniferous forests
Many forest species are adapted to long-interval, high-severity fires, but the intervals
between severe fires are decreasing with changes in climate, land use, and biological …

Mega‐fire in redwood tanoak forest reduces bacterial and fungal richness and selects for pyrophilous taxa that are phylogenetically conserved
Mega‐fires of unprecedented size, intensity and socio‐economic impacts have surged
globally due to climate change, fire suppression and development. Soil microbiomes are …

A simple pyrocosm for studying soil microbial response to fire reveals a rapid, massive response by Pyronema species
TD Bruns, JA Chung, AA Carver, SI Glassman - PLoS One, 2020 - journals.plos.org
We have designed a pyrocosm to enable fine-scale dissection of post-fire soil microbial
communities. Using it we show that the peak soil temperature achieved at a given depth …
