Matthew J Germino
I am a Supervisory Research Ecologist at the Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center in Boise, Idaho
I am interested in plant-soil-environment relationships, with a focus on forest and rangelands; post-fire rehabilitation and restoration, invasive species, integrating science and adaptive land management.

Vegetative community response to landscape-scale post-fire herbicide (imazapic) application
Snowmelt timing regulates community composition, phenology, and physiological performance of alpine plants
Thresholds and hotspots for shrub restoration following a heterogeneous megafire
A conservation paradox in the Great Basin—Altering sagebrush landscapes with fuel breaks to reduce habitat loss from wildfire
Methodological considerations regarding online extraction of water from soils for stable isotope determination
Weather-centric rangeland revegetation planning
Spectrophotometry of Artemisia tridentata to quantitatively determine subspecies
Seed origin and warming constrain lodgepole pine recruitment, slowing the pace of population range shifts
A multi-species synthesis of physiological mechanisms in drought-induced tree mortality
Enhanced precipitation promotes decomposition and soil C stabilization in semiarid ecosystems, but seasonal timing of wetting matters
