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: 10.1002/ecs2.70296
Abstract: Pine savannas of the southeastern United States evolved with frequent low‐intensity wildfires. Today, land managers use prescribed fires to restore this ecological process while also controlling vegetative fuel accumulation. Given the ubiquitous application of this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/wlb3.01315
Abstract: The Nelchina Basin, located west of Glenallen, AK provides important moose Alces alces habitat throughout the year. However, previous research in this area has shown that the moose populations appear to be nutritionally limited by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10533-024-01168-6
Abstract: Fire exclusion is a key factor driving conifer expansion into temperate semi-arid grasslands. However, it remains unclear how reintroducing fire affects the aboveground storage of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in the expanding tree species… 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.
