Fire as a key driver of Earth's biodiversity
Many terrestrial ecosystems are fire prone, such that their composition and structure are
largely due to their fire regime. Regions subject to regular fire have exceptionally high levels …

The impact of fire on soil-dwelling biota: A review
Fire has always been a driving factor of life on Earth. Now that mankind has definitely joined
the other environmental forces in shaping the planet, lots of species are threatened by …

How belowground interactions contribute to the coexistence of mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal species in severely phosphorus-impoverished hyperdiverse …
Background Mycorrhizal strategies are very effective in enhancing plant acquisition of poorly-
mobile nutrients, particularly phosphorus (P) from infertile soil. However, on very old and …

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 …

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 …
