Separating the effects of environmental factors and spatial distance on microbial
composition is difficult when these factors covary. We examined the composition of …

Background and aims Soil freeze-thaw cycle (FTC) regimes are altered by climate change
and known to influence nutrient cycling and plant growth. Here, we explore mechanistic …

Climate change has the potential to alter both the composition and function of a soil's
microbial community, and interactions among climate change factors may alter soil …

Soil microbial communities are essential for ensuring forest health, however, the influences
of global change on soil microbial communities and their ecosystem functions remain …

Earth's temperature is rising, and with this increase, fungal communities are responding and
affecting soil carbon processes. At a long-term soil-warming experiment in a boreal forest in …

Many factors associated with forests are collectively responsible for controlling
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal community structure, including plant species composition …

Fungi are principal actors of forest soils implied in many ecosystem services and the
mediation of tree's responses. Forecasting fungal responses to environmental changes is …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF), a phylogenetically and physiologically diverse guild, form
symbiotic associations with many trees and greatly enhance their uptake of nutrients and …

The response of soil microbial communities to a changing climate will impact global
biogeochemical cycles, potentially leading to positive and negative feedbacks. However, our …

Plant growth in boreal forests is commonly limited by a low supply of nitrogen, a condition
that may be aggravated by high tree below-ground allocation of carbon to ectomycorrhizal …
