Wildfire resilience mechanisms are increasingly threatened by the disproportionate proliferation of invasive plants, which benefit cooperatively from fire disturbance and concurrent environmental changes such as increased carbon dioxide, changing nutrients, precipitation patterns, and the outperformance of invasive plants over native plants Interaction between wildfire disturbance and global change drivers can undermine sustainability goals by facilitating invasive takeover, altering carbon cycles, and deterring ecosystem adaptation. This interdisciplinary research seeks to: Quantify how wildfire-driven molecular and soil cues affect seed germination, plant regeneration, and biogeochemical cycling, including GHG sequestration and emission dynamics. Evaluate the interdependent effects of climate change factors and wildfire regimes on native versus invasive species, addressing the development of sustainable, adaptation-oriented land management strategies. Create predictive frameworks for post-fire ecosystem recovery, invasive control, and ecosystem restoration as innovative climate change solutions. The research will employ the following methods: Controlled germination bioassays with native and nonnative seeds. Soil incubation will measure GHG fluxes. Monitor plant germination, growth, and competition outcomes using trait-based metrics. Multivariate analyses will address shifts drivers. Build simulation models that predict recovery trajectories under alternative fire and climate scenarios. Engage land management partners for co-design.
