None of that is news, and scientists should be embarrassed to study something so rudimentary as it was already discovered years ago. What a waste of time and valuable resources.

I'll chime in on this as well. I tried to correlate the two and even read the article, to no avail. Maybe I'll have my evening smoke early and try again.

They could easily be doing something worthwhile(like a more comprehensive inventory of organisms or more rapid sampling), but yeah my reaction was "duh". There are plants that have specifically evolved to thrive with wildfires, so the fact that there are things in the rhyzosphere that fill a related niche is something we likely concluded as soon as we knew there was a rhyzosphere.
