TL;DR: A literature review, interviews with key Regional and Forest BAER specialists, analysis of burned area reports, and review of Forest and District monitoring reports were used in the evaluation.
Postfire Seeding for Erosion Control: Effectiveness and Impacts on Native Plant Communities
TL;DR: The most common post-fire treatments are broadcast seeding of grasses, usually from aircraft as mentioned in this paper, which typically are used to provide quick, temporary ground cover to hold soil in place until native plants are reestablished.

Roles of weathered bedrock and soil in seasonal water relations of Pinus Jeffreyi and Arctostaphylos patula
TL;DR: Higher values of, and smaller fluctuations in, seasonal predawn pressure potential (ψ predawn ) for Jeffrey pine indicated that it is deeply rooted, whereas active roots of greenleaf manzanita were inter - preted to be mostly within the upper 100 cm.

Effects of long‐term ozone exposure and drought on the photosynthetic capacity of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.)
TL;DR: Current-year needles of NF150 trees had higher photosynthetic capacity than NF and CF trees during late summer, an effect due to greatly enhanced photosynthesis in well-watered plants that had lost older needles as a result of ozone damage.

Post-wildfire seeding in forests of the western United States: An evidence-based review
TL;DR: The literature suggests that post-wildfire seeding does little to protect soil in the short-term, has equivocal effect on invasion of non-native species, and can have negative effects on native vegetation recovery, although long-term studies are needed to assess lasting impacts of seeded species.
