Fires, whether started naturally, accidentally, or purposefully by people, are a powerful disturbance in many ecosystems. Fires burn plant biomass and litter and while we can easily spot these aboveground changes during and after fire, changes in soil are relatively difficult to see. Come to this webinar by University at Albany professor Dr. Rixiang Huang to learn about the changes to soil chemical components and microbial community by fires and their interactive response. The consequences of such changes on soil health and vegetation will also be discussed.
