Disturbances have altered community dynamics in boreal forests with unknown
consequences for belowground ecological processes. Soil fungi are particularly sensitive to …

Latitudinal gradients provide opportunities to better understand soil fungal community
assembly and its relationship with vegetation, climate, soil and ecosystem function …

Summary Western North American landscapes are rapidly being transformed by forest die‐
off caused by mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae), with implications for plant …

Elucidating interactions of above‐ground and below‐ground communities in different habitat
types is essential for understanding biodiversity maintenance and ecosystem functioning …

Soil fungi, especially the functional guilds of saprotrophs and symbiotrophs, play a central
role in ecosystem processes such as decomposition and plant nutrient acquisition. Fungal …

Fungi regulate key nutrient cycling processes in many forest ecosystems, but their diversity
and distribution within and across ecosystems are poorly understood. Here, we examine the …

More carbon (C) is stored globally in soils than biotic and atmospheric pools combined (Lal,
2004). As such, the biogeochemical processes affecting the amount of C sequestered in soil …

Deforestation has a substantial impact on aboveground biodiversity, but the response of
belowground soil fungi remains poorly understood. In a tropical montane rainforest in …

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 …

Fungi are known to exert a significant influence over soil organic matter (SOM) turnover,
however understanding of the effects of fungal community structure on SOM dynamics and …
