Persistent but variable effect of experimental laboratory burns on microbial community resistance, resilience, and function across contrasting boreal forest soils

Abstract
Boreal forests stretch across vast swaths of the northern hemisphere, are shaped by wildfire, and play an important role in the global carbon cycle. Microorganisms play a critical role in soil nutrient cycling in these ecosystems, yet there are many open questions about the impacts of wildfire on microbially mediated soil biogeochemical cycles. In this study, we used laboratory burns and soil incubations of intact soil cores collected from two distinct soil types – Histosols and Gleysols – fro
