Abstract
En 中文
• Fire severity was critically determined by the phenological stage of earthworms (EW). • EW density and diversity decreased under alternative EDS and LDS fires vs. prescribed MDS fire. • EDS fire more strongly suppressed epigeic EW and markedly altered community composition. • LDS fire was the most severe for the entire community, specifically for endogeic EW. • Neither of the alternative fires is a viable substitute for MDS fire with regard to EW diversity conservation.
