"Some Like It Hot: Impact of Fires on Microbial Succession and Traits" - Speaker: Dr. Sydney Glassman, Associate Professor of Microbiology and Plant Pathology, University of California, Riverside * Abstract: Examines the impacts of natural wildfires and experimental "pyrocosms" impact soil soil fungal biomass, richness, and succession in various arid ecosystems including deserts, grasslands, and shrublands. I use multiple methods including bioassays, genomics, and transcriptomics to explore the traits of pyrophilous fungi, or fungi that were rare or absent pre-fire, and increase massively in abundance post-fire, and determine how they are able to survive or thrive post-fire.
