Abstract Wildfires are natural disturbances characteristic of boreal forests. However, fire regimes around the world are changing, with effects on fire frequency and fire severity. Here, we present data from one and five years post-fire across 40 different sites from the boreal forest of the Northwest Territories and Alberta, Canada, asking the following questions: (1) Do the factors that structure post-fire soil fungal communities change over time?

Abstract Background Across a variety of anthropogenic and natural contexts, fire can reoccur in a previously burned location. However, effects of subsequent fire on preexisting pyrogenic organic matter (PyOM) stocks are difficult to discern. Laboratory experiments offer a powerful approach to investigating how subsequent fire impacts the preexisting PyOM.
