Hyperdiverse forests occur in the lowland tropics, whereas the most species‐rich shrublands
are found in regions such as south‐western Australia (kwongan) and South Africa (fynbos) …

Many trees depend on symbiotic ectomycorrhizal fungi for nutrients in exchange for
photosynthetically derived carbohydrates. Trees growing in peatlands, which cover 3% of …

Many northern forests are limited by nitrogen (N) availability, slight changes in which can
have profound effects on ecosystem function and the activity of ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi …

Soil fungal communities are key players in biogeochemical processes of peatlands, which
are important carbon stocks globally. Although it has been elucidated that fungi are …

Despite the ecological significance of ericoid mycorrhizal fungi, little is known about the
abiotic and biotic factors driving their diversity and community composition. To determine the …

Nitrogen (N) deposition has marked effects on the structure and function of global forest
ecosystems. Many forest tree species rely upon a symbiotic association with ectomycorrhizal …

Agriculture often leads to altered composition and reduced diversity of arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) communities compared to natural grassland systems. However …

Many forest tree species form symbiotic associations with either arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)
or ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi to increase access to nutrients. ECM and AM differ in …

While it is established that increasing atmospheric inorganic nitrogen (N) deposition reduces
ectomycorrhizal fungal biomass and shifts the relative abundances of fungal species, little is …

The mycorrhizal‐associated nutrient economy hypothesis proposes a strong connection
between plant and fungal traits and the dominant form of soil nutrients. If true, then shifting …
