Human activities accelerate acidification, particularly as acid rain, which may have lasting
impacts on soil abiotic and biotic parameters. However, the effects of acidification on …

Chronic acid deposition affects many temperate hardwood forests of the northeastern United
States, reduces soil pH and phosphorus (P) availability, and can alter the structure and …

We examined the effects of an ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungus, Pisolithus sp., on of the growth
of Pinus halepensis (Allepo pine) seedlings, soil microbial functions and rock phosphate …

Many forests are affected by chronic acid deposition, which can lower soil pH and limit the
availability of nutrients such as phosphorus (P), but the response of mycorrhizal fungi to …

Trees are dependent on the activity of soil microorganisms, including mutualistic
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi and soil-dwelling bacteria, for access to phosphorus (P). While …

Soil microbial community composition routinely correlates with pH, reflecting both direct pH
effects on microbial physiology and long‐term biogeochemical feedbacks. We used two …

Molecular methods and comparisons of fruiting patterns (ie, presence or absence of fungal
fruiting bodies in different soil types) were used to determine ectomycorrhizal (EM) …

Pine wilt disease (PWD), a major illness of several Pinus species, native to North-America,
has spread into Asia and recently into Europe. The first report in Portugal was in 1999 but …

Microbial communities regulate many belowground carbon cycling processes; thus, the
impact of climate change on the struc-ture and function of soil microbial communities could …

Liming is an effective agricultural practice and is broadly used to ameliorate soil acidification
in agricultural ecosystems. Our understanding of the impacts of lime application on the soil …
