SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn | Quantifying the effects of wildfire on native pollinator communities in Ponderosa Pine forests
DESCRIPTION:Over the last century\, historical wildfire regimes have shifted due to climate change\, the exclusion of Indigenous fire stewards\, and land management philosophies. As a result of these pressures\, forests have experienced increases in fuel buildup that threatens dry forest resilience across western North America. Within post-fire landscapes\, pollination is critical for vegetation recovery and ecosystem health. We used field based and molecular methods to evaluate the effects of fire reintroduction on bee community composition across a temporal range of one to nine years post-fire\, and in an unburned control\, in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. \nAutumn Maust is a Research Scientist in the Biology Department at the University of Washington. Broadly\, her research explores the effects of climate-driven disturbance on native insect pollinator communities. She uses both field based and molecular methods to quantify shifts in pollinator community composition\, fitness\, and plant-pollinator networks over spatial and temporal scales.
