“…Regarding microbial soil communities, even low-intensity fires may depress soil microbial biomass (Múgica et al, 2018), with complex consequences on the C and N cycles (Soong and Cotrufo, 2015;Shaw et al, 2016;Pellegrini et al, 2020). The composition of soil fungal communities has been documented to be disrupted by fires as well (Artz et al, 2009;Egidi et al, 2016;Semenova-Nelsen et al, 2019). Few studies have addressed the effects of fire on plant fungal assemblages (Bellgard et al, 1994;Eom et al, 1999;Mataix-Solera et al, 2002), although changes in species richness have been detected in foliar endophytes of burned trees (Huang et al, 2016), and specific plant-fungal mutualisms and pyrophilous fungal species have been described (Baynes et al, 2012;Raudabaugh et al, 2020).…”
