Wildfires act as important ecosystem controls and can benefit fire-adapted biomes by
promoting habitat heterogeneity, seed germination and disease control. However, the …

Global wildfire activity has increased since the 1970s and is projected to intensify throughout
the 21st century. Wildfires change the composition and biodegradability of soil organic …

Ecosystem fires are stochastic and anthropogenic phenomena that affect critical soil
processes. Nevertheless, environmental managers, policy-makers, and even scientists have …

Wildfires in forested watersheds dramatically alter stored and labile soil organic matter
(SOM) pools and the export of dissolved organic matter (DOM). Ecosystem recovery after …

The biogeochemical signature of fire shapes the functioning of many ecosystems. Fire
changes nutrient cycles not only by volatilizing plant material, but also by altering organic …

Fire frequency and severity have increased in recent decades in the western United States,
with direct implications for the quantity and composition of soil organic matter (SOM). While …

Production, transport, and degradation of terrestrial dissolved organic matter (DOM)
influence carbon (C) and nutrient cycling in both soils and downstream aquatic ecosystems …

The frequency and intensity of global wildfires are escalating, leading to an increase in
derived pyrogenic dissolved organic matter (pyDOM), which potentially influences the …

Soils play an essential role in supporting and sustaining life on this planet. In fire-impacted
environments, fire causes considerable changes to the soil, especially in the various …

During the past century, systematic wildfire suppression has decreased fire frequency and
increased fire severity in the western United States of America. While this has resulted in …
