• Wildland fire in ecosystems: effects of fire on soils and water (2005, background): “Invertebrates that lived deeper in the soil had less mortality than those that colonized the vegetation and litter layers (Wikars and Schimmel 2001).”
• The effects of forestry on carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in boreal forests (2007, background): “Overall, McCullough et al. (1998) concluded that studies examining the effects of forest fire on boreal carabid beetles suggest that the effects of fire on species diversity are small, but species composition may change (see Wikars and Schimmel 2001).”
• Impact of forest fire on physical, chemical and biological properties of soil: A review (2012, background): “Fire-severity, expressed as the depth of burn, considerably affected the patterns of survival, colonisation and recovery (Wikars and Schimmel, 2001).”
• Landscape context affects the success of habitat restoration: large‐scale colonization patterns of saproxylic and fire‐associated species in boreal forests (2012, background): “In different parts of the boreal zone, fires may have either increased because of human activities (Yaroshenko et al., 2001; Achard et al., 2006) or decreased if fire suppression is efficient (Zackrisson, 1977; Niklasson & Granström, 2000).”
• Soil fauna responses to natural disturbances, invasive species, and global climate change: Current state of the science and a call to action (2017, background): “Fungivores consistently decline in abundance after fire, sometimes quite drastically (Buddle et al., 2006; Wikars and Schimmel, 2001).”
• Short-term response of ground beetles (Coleoptera:Carabidae) to fire and logging in a spruce-dominated boreal landscape (2005, background): “While logging is expected to have at most moderate effects in terms of immediate mortality on non-target plants and less-mobile animals, forest fires have the potential to produce a whole gradient of effects depending on the nature and severity of the fire event; in the case of severe fires, very fe”
• The Holocene British and Irish ancient forest fossil beetle fauna: implications for forest history, biodiversity and faunal colonisation (2006, background): “Fire also alters the age-structure and tree-species composition of an area (Wikars, 1992; Wikars and Schimmel, 2001).”
• Fire severity influences the response of soil microbes to a boreal forest fire (2016, background): “Furthermore, soil invertebrates display similar declines in abundance with increasing fire severity (Wikars and Schimmel 2001, Malmström 2010).”
