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.

The integrated rangeland fire management strategy actionable science plan
Challenges of establishing big sgebrush (Artemisia tridentata) in rangeland restoration: effects of herbicide, mowing, whole-community seeding, and sagebrush seed sources
Moisture rivals temperature in limiting photosynthesis by trees establishing beyond their cold-edge range limit under ambient and warmed conditions
Projecting changes in subalpine tree populations with warming across an elevation gradient
Linking carbon and water limitations to drought-induced mortality of Pinus flexilis seedlings
Successes and challenges from formation to implementation of eleven broad-extent conservation programs
Plants in alpine environments
Adaptive responses reveal contemporary and future ecotypes in a desert shrub
Resilience to stress and disturbance, and resistance to Bromus tectorum L. invasion in cold desert shrublands of western North America
Conifer seedling recruitment across a gradient from forest to alpine tundra: effects of species, provenance, and site
Nonstructural leaf carbohydrates dynamics of Pinus edulis during drought-induced tree mortality reveal role for carbon metabolism in mortality mechanism
Microbial community responses to 17 years of altered precipitation are seasonally dependent and coupled to co-varying effects of water content on vegetation and soil C
