Title:

Long-term relationships between seed banks and wildfire across four North American desert sites

Alternate Identifier:

DOI PLACE HOLDER

Abstract:

It is well documented that the recovery of dryland plant communities following wildfire can be variable, and that legacies of fire can have long lasting effects on aboveground plant communities. However, our understanding of the degree to which dryland soil seed banks, or the viable seeds in situ, are impacted by fire and their subsequent post-fire succession remains extremely poor. To address this important knowledge gap, we used a time-since-fire approach to investigate soil seed bank community changes approximately 15 and 30 years after wildfire and to determine the influence of microsites (e.g., shrub vs. interspace) on seed bank composition. We assessed soil seed bank metrics across four North American deserts, including two cold desert sites (Colorado Plateau and Great Basin) and two warm desert sites (Chihuahuan and Sonoran). In greenhouse emergence trials, we found that seed bank characteristics diverged between warm and cold desert sites, such that warm desert sites had seed banks dominated by annual plants while our cold desert sites had seed banks with greater proportions of perennial species, regardless of fire history. In cold desert sites, fire significantly altered seed bank species composition even 30 years after fire. Shrub versus interspace microsites had no observed influence on seed bank composition in any desert. However, seed bank species richness was greater under shrubs in both warm deserts. Non-native species were present in the seed banks of all deserts, and some were particularly abundant in the burned sites. Despite the presence of native species in both burned and unburned seed banks, the presence of non-native species suggests some degree of vulnerability to future disturbances because fire can create positive feedbacks with many non-native plants. Our results highlight strong differences in fires’ relationship with seed banks for warm and cold desert sites and lend insight into how fire relates to the composition and diversity of the seeds that play a fundamental role in future plant communities.

Description:

Sampling took place across four North American deserts. These include the Chihuahuan, Great Basin, Sonoran and Colorado Plateau. Previously burned sites were targeted representing "shorter" and "longer" time-since-fire (TSF) categories. The "shorter" TSF sub-sites burned in the early 2000's and the "longer" TSF sub-sites burned in the late 1980's. Aboveground vegetation and seed bank sampling took place between June and October of 2018, with the goal of sampling each desert when most species had emerged from the seed bank but before current year seeds had dropped. This targeted approach of "peak biomass" allowed us to meet our objective of comparing aboveground vegetation to the seed bank community across desert types, while accounting for temporal and phenological variability among deserts. Assessment of the seed bank was conducted using the greenhouse emergence method, including multiple successive treatments including periods of watering with dry down periods in between, followed by a final application of gibberellic acid. During the greenhouse trials, seedling emergence was monitored once a week and the number of germinants as well as the species identification was recorded. Any unknown species were documented and, if not identified prior to removal from the pots, we selected six representative germinants to transplant and grow for future identification. Statistical analyses were performed using R version 3.5.1. For all seed density analyses, all germinants were included to provide a total number of individuals regardless of taxonomic resolution. For analyses related to species richness and community composition, any remaining unknown germinants were excluded.
