Read the article carefully, and answer the following questions to be submitted as an “Abstract” for this Lesson. You can answer each question individually (you don’t need to write a cohesive paragraph). Copy/paste the citation at the beginning of your submission.

1. What are the take-home messages about the fire ecology of soils? (List three)

2. How do these messages APPLY or NOT apply to your ecosystem? (MY ECOSYSTEM IS THE FLORIDA EVERGLADES)  You will likely need to explore additional literature to answer this. Please provide citations within the abstract (e.g., “First Author et al., year”), and a list of references at the end of your submission.

3. If you had to provide an “elevator pitch” summary of the result you find most compelling from the article, using one sentence, what would it be?
