Wildland fire as an atmospheric source of viable microbial aerosols and biological ice nucleating particles

Rachel A. Moore et al.

Summary: The study analyzed microbial cells and biological ice nucleating particles in smoke emitted from wildland fires, finding that these aerosols are significantly correlated with PM10 and can be cultured bacteria, with vegetation as a potential source. Controlled combustion experiments showed that smoke from dead vegetation has higher microbial content than from green shrubs, and microbial viability in the smoke aerosols was similar to that of ambient air. The study estimated the average amount of microbial aerosols emitted per unit area burned by wildfires, suggesting that these fires are sources of viable microbial aerosols in the atmosphere.

Fire frequency, state change and hysteresis in tallgrass prairie

Scott L. Collins et al.

Summary: The study found that annual burning can slow down shrub encroachment but cannot completely reverse it. Additionally, changing fire frequencies results in hysteresis, with vegetation trajectories from grassland to shrubland differing from those of shrubland to grassland.

The impact of fire on soil-dwelling biota: A review

Giacomo Certini et al.

Summary: Fire plays a crucial role in shaping the environment and has significant impacts on soil-dwelling organisms. Various research findings worldwide provide insights into the immediate and long-term effects of fires on soil biota biodiversity and activity. Understanding these effects is important for conservation efforts and ecosystem management.

High-severity wildfire reduces richness and alters composition of ectomycorrhizal fungi in low-severity adapted ponderosa pine forests

M. Fabiola Pulido-Chavez et al.

Summary: The study revealed that high-severity wildfires led to lower ectomycorrhizal and saprobic fungal richness, significantly altering fungal communities in fire-adapted ecosystems by selecting resilient species and initiating post-fire succession. Fire-driven changes in soil environment influenced fungal richness and community composition, indicating long-term impacts of wildfires on soil fungal dynamics.

Fungal community structure and seasonal trajectories respond similarly to fire across pyrophilic ecosystems

Jacob R. Hopkins et al.

Summary: Fire alters microbial community composition and dynamics in pyrophilic ecosystems, driving shifts favoring taxa able to survive and thrive post-fire. This suggests that recurrent fires may lead to convergent changes across ecosystems, potentially impacting fungal function significantly.
