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.

Intraspecific variation mediates density dependence in a genetically diverse plant species
Weather affects post‐fire recovery of sagebrush‐steppe communities and model transferability among sites
Post-fire management targeting invasive annual grasses may have inadvertently released the exotic perennial forb Chondrilla juncea and suppressed its biocontrol agent
A chemical and bio‐herbicide mixture increased exotic invaders, both targeted and non‐targeted, across a diversely invaded landscape after fire
Weather and distance to fire refugia limit landscape‐level occurrence of fungal disease in an exotic annual grass
Detecting shrub recovery in sagebrush steppe: Comparing Landsat-derived maps with field data on historical wildfires
Comment on: Grazing disturbance promotes exotic annual grasses by degrading soil biocrust communities
Warming of alpine tundra enhances belowground production and shifts community towards resource acquisition traits
Appendix C: Interim report on subtask focused on resampling historic Kennedy/ITD plots for RP-284
Impact of unburned remnant sagebrush versus outplants on post-fire landscape rehabilitation
Weed-suppressive bacteria effects differ in culture compared to in soils and with or without microbial competition and separation of active ingredient
Spatial grain of adaptation is much finer than ecoregional-scale common gardens reveal
