Environmental forces and biotic interactions, both positive and negative, structure ecological
communities, but their relative roles remain obscure despite strong theory. For instance …

Mycorrhizal fungi with different nutrient acquisition strategies influence plant species
performance and physiology, thereby defining their trophic niche. This might drive resource …

All terrestrial plants are colonized by foliar endophytic fungi that can affect plant growth and
physiology, but the prediction of these effects on the plant host remains a challenge. Here …

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

Soil fungi link above‐and belowground carbon (C) fluxes through their interactions with
plants and contribute to C and nutrient dynamics through the production, turnover, and …

Tree growth in boreal forests is driven by ectomycorrhizal fungal mobilisation of organic
nitrogen and mineral nutrients in soils with discrete organic and mineral horizons. However …

Over the past several decades, forests worldwide have experienced increases in biotic
disturbances caused by insects and plant pathogens–a trend that is expected to continue …

Plant-soil feedbacks are known to play a central role in species co-existence, but conceptual
frameworks for predicting their magnitude and direction are lacking. We ask whether co …

The ecological impacts of long-term (press) disturbance on mechanisms regulating the
relative abundance (ie, commonness or rarity) and temporal dynamics of species within a …

How nitrogen (N) deposition impacts ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungal communities has been
little studied in deciduous forests or across spatial scales. Here, it was tested whether N …
