Ecological Applications 00(00):e02072. 10.1002/eap.2072 Abstract. During the past century, systematic wildfire suppression has decreased fire fre- quency and increased fire severity in the western United States of America. While this has resulted in large ecological changes aboveground such as altered tree species composition and increased forest density, little is known about the long-term, belowground implications of altered, ecologically novel, fire regimes, especially on soil biological processes. To better under- stand the long-term implications of ecologically novel, high-severity fire, we used a 44-yr high- severity fire chronosequence in the Sierra Nevada where forests were historically adapted to frequent, low-severity fire, but were fire suppressed for at least 70 yr.

    Sierra Nevada Research Institute 5 year Self-Assessment AY 2010-11 through 2014-2015 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA BERKELEY • DAVIS • IRVINE • LOS ANGELES • RIVERSIDE • SAN DIEGO • SAN FRANCISCO SANTA BARBARA • SANTA CRUZ Sierra Nevada Research Institute UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, MERCED March 24, 2016 Dr. Samuel Traina Vice Chancellor for Research and Economic Development University of California, Merced Dear Dr Traina: In 1997 the UC Merced Research Advisory Committee developed research partnerships with Yosemite and Sequoia-Kings National Parks. In 1999 a prospectus was published outlining the creation of the Sierra Nevada Research Institute. Since 2002, when the founding director of the SNRI joined UC Merced, founding and later faculty have grown the Sierra Nevada Research Institute into an exemplary expression of the value and impact that this world-class research institution has for this region of California, the Sierra Nevada and Central Valley. The breadth and reach of SNRI’s research partnerships and community engagement throughout the Sierra and the San Joaquin Valley is a testament to the vision of the founders of UC Merced, and the creators of SNRI. Faculty and researchers work with State, Federal and local agencies as well as private landowners to concentrate the power of the UC on the critical questions facing the region. This 5-year review reflects the leadership power of the UC research community and the importance of the geographic location of UC Merced in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley. Focused on the mission of the SNRI, the faculty members of SNRI continue to pursue new questions and discover new knowledge in a robust and interdisciplinary environment.
