Biogeochemical cycles and biodiversity as key drivers of ecosystem services provided by soils (2015, background): “Fire management can also increase soil C and nutrient status of soils (e.g. Certini, 2005).”
Direct and indirect effects of climate change on soil microbial and soil microbial‐plant interactions: What lies ahead? (2015, background): “These events can alter large-scale processes such as regional net primary productivity (Ciais et al. 2005, Gu et al. 2008) as well as soil physical and biotic properties (Ajwa et al. 1999, Certini 2005, v www.esajournals.org 12 August 2015 v Volume 6(8) v Article 130 Yuste et al. 2014).”
Belowground community responses to fire: meta-analysis reveals contrasting responses of soil microorganisms and mesofauna (2018, background): “…subsequent inputs (Hart et al. 2005), loss of soil structure (Mataix-Solera et al. 2011), changes in albedo with consequences for soil moisture dynamics (Beringer et al. 2003, Jin & Roy 2005, Jin et al. 2012), and increases in pH (Certini 2005) – all of which have consequences for soil organisms.”
Intense forest wildfire sharply reduces mineral soil C and N: the first direct evidence (2008, background): “Indirect evidence of the effects of intense fires on soils can also be acquired by extrapolating the results of laboratory, slash-pile, and prescribed-fire studies of lower intensity (Neary et al. 1999; Johnson et al. 2004; Certini 2005).”
Impact of forest fire on physical, chemical and biological properties of soil: A review (2012, background): “3.2.2 Micronutrients The behaviour of micronutrients, such as Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, B, and Mo, with respect to fire is not well known because specific studies are lacking (Certini, 2005).”
Abiotic and biotic influences on Bromus tectorum invasion and Artemisia tridentata recovery after fire (2011, background): “Higher availability of resources after fire (Badia and Marti 2003; Certini 2005) can increase the probability of establishment and spread of exotic species as described by the fluctuating resource hypothesis (Davis et al. 2000).”
Buried charcoal layer and ectomycorrhizae cooperatively promote the growth of Larix gmelinii seedlings (2010, positive): “While charcoal mixed in the soil is reported to increase soil moisture retention under xeric conditions, because of its abundant micropores and greater water holding capacity, charcoal on the soil surface has low albedo, thus increasing the temperature of soil surface (Certini 2005).”
Plant communities as drivers of soil respiration: pathways, mechanisms, and significance for global change (2011, background): “Fire affects soil C cycling in a large number of ways over different time scales (Certini, 2005), which makes it very difficult to reliably predict the net effect of these changes in fire regime on R.”
Soil fungal communities respond compositionally to recurring frequent prescribed burning in a managed southeastern US forest ecosystem (2015, background): “Comparison across experiments is difficult because fires can have a wide range of effects on soil parameters depending on fire intensity, duration, or the soil properties (e.g., volumetric soil moisture) before the fire (Certini, 2005; Glass et al., 2008).”
Recent development in the treatment of oily sludge from petroleum industry: a review. (2013, background): “, humin, fulvic acid, and humic acid) in soil could form stable dialkylphthalates, long-chain alkanes, and fatty acids that are resistant to microbial degradation [49,50].”
Climate change feedbacks to microbial decomposition in boreal soils (2011, background): “Burning removes surface soil horizons that are rich in labile C, halts plant root exudation, reduces substrate availability, and generates recalcitrant combustion products that may constrain microbial decomposition (Certini 2005; Harden et al. 2006).”
Spore heat resistance plays an important role in disturbance‐mediated assemblage shift of ectomycorrhizal fungi colonizing Pinus muricata seedlings (2009, background): “Although fires have clear effects on above-ground vegetation, their effect on below-ground systems are often highly complex, spatially heterogeneous and difficult to observe (reviewed in Neary et al . 1999; Certini 2005; Hart et al . 2005).”
Impacts of invasive biota in forest ecosystems in an aboveground–belowground context (2017, background): “Given that fire exerts a wide range of effects on the belowground subsystem (Certini 2005) it is expected that an increased fire regime caused by invasive grasses should have large effects on soil biota, fertility, and nutrient supply for plants, although this has seldom been explored.”
Fire severity influences the response of soil microbes to a boreal forest fire (2016, background): “In humic soils, microbial biomass was not affected by burning or fire severity, potentially because these deeper soils were buffered from temperature changes during the fire (Certini 2005).”
The Nitrogen Cycle in Terrestrial Ecosystems (2007, background): “Both wind and water erosion are generally accelerated by severe ecosystem disturbances that remove vegetation and expose soil, such as fire ( Certini 2005 ).”
Ecology and long-term history of fire in New Zealand. (2014, background): “Finally, root death may occur as heat is transferred to the soil and then the roots, with heat transfer and temperature declining sharply with soil depth (Certini 2005).”
