Effects of short-interval wildfires on interactions among plants, soils, and microbes in P — NSF Award to Oregon State University
Decades of fuel accumulation and increasing aridity are causing more frequent wildfire in many western forests. Frequent fire often reduces soil fertility in forest types with low precipitation. However, it is unclear whether this is also the case for more productive, wetter forest types, like those found in the wester

| Abstract | Decades of fuel accumulation and increasing aridity are causing more frequent wildfire in many western forests. Frequent fire often reduces soil fertility in forest types with low precipitation. However, it is unclear whether this is also the case for more productive, wetter forest types, like those found in the western Cascade Mountains of the Pacific Northwest, where fire has been less frequent historically. This goal of this research is to evaluate interactions among regenerating vegetation, |
