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 …

The myth of the biological threshold: A review of biological responses to soil heating associated with wildland fire
MRA Pingree, LN Kobziar - Forest Ecology and Management, 2019 - Elsevier
Soil heating caused by prescribed or wildland fire commonly focuses on a single biological
thermal threshold of 60° C for the duration of one minute to represent organism death. This …

Ectomycorrhizal fungal spore bank recovery after a severe forest fire: some like it hot
SI Glassman, CR Levine, AM DiRocco… - The ISME …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
After severe wildfires, pine recovery depends on ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal spores
surviving and serving as partners for regenerating forest trees. We took advantage of a …

Fire Reduces Fungal Species Richness and In Situ Mycorrhizal Colonization: A Meta-Analysis
Soil fungal communities perform many functions that help plants meet their nutritional
demands. However, overall trends for fungal response to fire, which can be especially …

Wildfire severity reduces richness and alters composition of soil fungal communities in boreal forests of western Canada
Wildfire is the dominant disturbance in boreal forests and fire activity is increasing in these
regions. Soil fungal communities are important for plant growth and nutrient cycling postfire …

Inoculum potential of Rhizopogon spores increases with time over the first 4 yr of a 99‐yr spore burial experiment
In disturbed or pioneer settings, spores and sclerotia of ectomycorrhizal fungi serve as the
necessary inoculum for establishment of ectomycorrhizal‐dependent trees. Yet, little is …

A simple pyrocosm for studying soil microbial response to fire reveals a rapid, massive response by Pyronema species
TD Bruns, JA Chung, AA Carver, SI Glassman - PLoS One, 2020 - journals.plos.org
We have designed a pyrocosm to enable fine-scale dissection of post-fire soil microbial
communities. Using it we show that the peak soil temperature achieved at a given depth …

Spore heat resistance plays an important role in disturbance‐mediated assemblage shift of ectomycorrhizal fungi colonizing Pinus muricata seedlings
Summary 1 Abiotic disturbance plays an important role in determining assemblage structure
and maintaining species richness in many ecosystems. Disturbances events are complex …

Burning fire-prone Mediterranean shrublands: immediate changes in soil microbial community structure and ecosystem functions
Wildfires subject soil microbes to extreme temperatures and modify their physical and
chemical habitat. This might immediately alter their community structure and ecosystem …

Do fungi have a role as soil stabilizers and remediators after forest fire?
AW Claridge, JM Trappe, K Hansen - Forest ecology and management, 2009 - Elsevier
The functional roles of fungi in recovery of forest ecosystems after fire remain poorly
documented. We observed macrofungi soon after fire at two widely separated sites, one in …
