Researchers are expanding use of high-resolution satellite imagery to monitor outbreaks across the South
New study reveals surprising links between land use, soil nutrients, fire, and fungi in the decline of oaks in eastern forests
Synergistic research projects characterize fuels, measure radiant heat and energy, evaluate smoke concentrations, and document fire effects on vegetation and even bats.
Bacterial and fungal communities in the soil cycle nutrients and carbon through the ecosystem by contributing to decomposition and carbon sequestration. But research on how fire affects soils has been scarce.
