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.

Postfire growth of seeded and planted big sagebrush - Strategic designs for restoring Greater Sage-grouse nesting habitat
Colonisation of the alpine tundra by trees: Alpine neighbours assist late-seral but not early-seral conifer seedlings
Post-fire management-scale trials of bacterial soil amendment MB906 show inconsistent control of invasive annual grasses
Synthesis of weed-suppressive bacteria studies in rangelands of the Western United States: Special section of articles in Rangeland Ecology and Management provides no evidence of effectiveness
Small-scale water deficits after wildfires create long-lasting ecological impacts
Corrigendum to ‘Field-scale intercomparison analysis of ecosystems in partitioning surface energy balance components in a semi-arid environment’- Ecohydrology and hydrobiology 19 (2019) 24-37
Intraspecific variation in surface water uptake in a perennial desert shrub
Weed-suppressive bacteria have no effect on exotic or native plants in sagebrush-steppe
Weed-suppressive bacteria fail to control bromus tectorum under field conditions
Freezing resistance, safety margins, and survival vary among big sagebrush populations across the western United States
Corrigendum to “Intercomparison of surface energy fluxes, soil moisture, and evapotranspiration from eddy covariance, large-aperture scintillometer, and modeling across three ecosystems in a semiarid climate” [Agric. For. Meteorol. 248 (2018) 22–47]
Transient population dynamics impede restoration and may promote ecosystem transformation after disturbance
