ABSTRACT

Abstract Prescribed fire – the intentional use of fire to help achieve a land management goal – is becoming increasingly common as a land management practice. Soil physical, chemical, and biological properties can be affected by prescribed fires, but depend on the fire, soil type, residence time and frequency, and may not be changed substantially in low-severity burns. Here, we examined soil bacterial community composition immediately post-fire (15 days) in a sandy jack pine barrens soil in Wisconsin, USA. Soil bacterial communities clustered significantly by sample site (p
