Description:

Experimental Design

We sampled fungal communities from root systems of seedlings that established post-fire and adjacent resprouting shrubs. We assessed variability in fungal composition in relation to environmental, fire, and vegetation variables. We determined the relative importance of biological, fire, and environmental variables in predicting seedling biomass and foliar N content.

Methods

FIELD: We sampled 40 pairs of tree seedlings and adjacent shrubs at our Finger Mountain site and 29 pairs of tree seedlings and shrubs at our Nome Creek site in July and August of 2009. We excavated the root systems and aboveground parts of aspen, birch, or spruce seedlings and the closest resprouting dwarf birch (Betula nana), tree birch (Betula neo-alaskana), willow (Salix sp.), or bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi). We recorded the substrate and presence of the dominant vegetation within one meter of the focal seedling, the depth of the organic layer where the seedling and shrub were collected, and the distance between each seedling and the nearest shrub. LAB: See manuscript for detailed laboratory methods including molecular characterization of fungal communities.
