Burning season and vegetation coverage influenced the community-level physiological profile of Mediterranean mixed-mesogean pine forest soils

Deciphering Succession and Assembly Patterns of Microbial Communities in a Two-Stage Solid-State Fermentation System

“…These results jointly suggested that microbial communities might have diverse responses to different degrees of external disturbances. One previous study has confirmed that the soil microbiome under different degrees of vegetation coverage has significantly different responses to wildfire disturbances ( 47 ), which supports our findings.…”

“…Microorganisms from different domains might have different succession patterns ( 47 ) and different response patterns to external environmental changes ( 48 ). We found significant differences in the microbial succession patterns and their responses to disturbances between bacterial and fungal communities during the brewing process ( Fig.…”

Microbial Community-Level Physiological Profiles and Genetic Prokaryotic Structure of Burned Soils Under Mediterranean Sclerophyll Forests in Central Chile

“…Influence of land burning was mostly evident in Requínoa, where forest fires increased the microbial catabolic activity, especially in the rhizosphere. Different responses of microbial metabolic fingerprints based on Biolog EcoPlates have been related to vegetation coverage after fires in Mediterranean pine forest ( Moya et al, 2021 ). For instance, microbial catabolic activity has been shown to increase a few months after forest fires, especially under soils with high vegetation cover, while C substrate utilization patterns have also been observed to increase in burned soils, but with no relation to vegetation ( Moya et al, 2021 ).…”

However, opposite results have been reported in desert grassland ecosystems, where fires were shown to reduce soil microbial substrate utilization with variations observed across seasons ( Liu et al, 2000 ).…”

“…Carbon substrate utilization capacity has been shown to differ following land burning ( Barreiro et al, 2015 ; Moya et al, 2021 ). Immediately after experimental fires, C sources in the form of carboxylic acids, amino acids, carbohydrates, and phenolic acids have been shown to greatly increase, while over a year all C source utilization tends to resemble unburned conditions ( Barreiro et al, 2015 ).…”
