Growing season frost defoliates aspen and reduces growth by 40%

Large trees promote belowground fungal diversity
High overlap of fungi across the range of Douglas-fir
High deadwood loadings decades after spruce beetle outbreak
Medium-sized fires burn less severely than large fires
Variable fire behavior causes greater bacterial and fungal richness
