DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9977
Abstract: Abstract Fire is a common disturbance in many biomes, with both beneficial and detrimental effects on soil biology, which largely depend on fire intensity. However, little is known about the impact of fire on soil… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2182
Abstract: Extensive high-severity wildfires have driven major losses of ponderosa pine and mixed-conifer forests in the southwestern United States, in some settings catalyzing enduring conversions to nonforested vegetation types. Management interventions to reduce the probability of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11676-017-0486-4
Abstract: Prescribed fire is a common economical and effective forestry practice, and therefore it is important to understand the effects of fire on soil properties for better soil management. We investigated the impacts of low-intensity prescribed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11676-019-00923-y
Abstract: Given the likelihood of regional extirpation of several once-common bat species in eastern North America from white-nose syndrome, it is critical that the impacts of forest management activities, such as prescribed fire, are known in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.catena.2019.104301
Abstract: Abstract Woody species encroachment into herbaceous and shrub-dominated vegetations is a concern in many rangeland ecosystems of the world. Arrival of woody species into affected rangelands leads to changes in the spatial structure of vegetation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118645
Abstract: Abstract In western North America beginning in the late 19th century, fire suppression and other factors resulted in dense ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests that are now prone to high severity wildfire, insect attack, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rama.2019.08.004
Abstract: ABSTRACT Suppression of fire in the Southern Plains has led to proliferation of woody plants and fuel load accumulation that spurs wildfires. These effects have led to calls for widespread application of prescribed fire to… read more here.
