Tree thinning and fire affect ectomycorrhizal fungal communities and enzyme activities

Creator:

Rasmussen, Ann L., Brewer, J. Stephen, Jackson, Colin R., and Hoeksema, Jason D.

Abstract:

Common ecological restoration treatments such as thinning trees and prescribed burning could result in changes to soil fungal communities and changes to the function of those communities.

Resilience and resistance in sagebrush ecosystems are associated with seasonal soil temperature and water availability

Creator:

Roundy, Bruce A., Chambers, Jeanne C., Pyke, David A., Miller, Richard F., Tausch, Robin J., Schupp, Eugene W., Rau, Ben, and Gruell, Trevor

Abstract:

Invasion and dominance of exotic grasses and increased fire frequency threaten native ecosystems worldwide. In the Great Basin region of the western United States, woody and herbaceous fuel treatments are implemented to decrease the effects of wildfire and increase sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystem resilience to disturbance and resistance to exotic...
