Background: The post-fire recovery of soil microbes is critical for ecological conservation, yet the mechanisms behind it are not well understood.
Aim: In this study, we examined the recovery patterns of culturable soil microbes following a fire…

Anthropogenic fires are an increasing threat to tropical savannas and their plant populations. In the Brazilian Cerrado, human-made fires at the end of the dry season are replacing natural fires at the beginning of the dry season. Critically, these…
