Symbioses between plant roots and mycorrhizal fungi are thought to enhance plant uptake
of nutrients through a favourable exchange for photosynthates. Ectomycorrhizal fungi are …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi serve key functions in forest ecosystems by supplying water
and nutrients to tree hosts, yet mutualistic plant–fungi interactions are jeopardised by …

Trees interact with a multitude of microbes through their roots and root symbionts such as
mycorrhizal fungi and root endophytes. Here, we explore the role of fungal root symbionts as …

In mycorrhizal symbiosis, plant roots form close, mutually beneficial interactions with soil
fungi. Before this mycorrhizal interaction can be established however, plant roots must be …

Climate change is causing upward shift of forest lines worldwide, with consequences for soil
biota and carbon (C) sequestration. We here analyse compositional changes in the soil …

Bryophytes harbour microbiomes, including diverse communities of fungi. The molecular
mechanisms by which perennial mosses interact with these fungal partners along their …

Forest soils store large amounts of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), yet how predicted shifts in
forest composition will impact long‐term C and N persistence remains poorly understood. A …

Understanding the context dependence of ecosystem responses to global changes requires
the development of new conceptual frameworks. Here we propose a framework for …

Sequestration and release of carbon in the decomposer subsystem of the forest floor are key
ecosystem functions of saprotrophic basidiomycetes. Both are the result of fungal metabolic …

Anthropogenic activities during the last century have increased levels of atmospheric CO2.
Forest net primary productivity increases in response to elevated CO2, altering the quantity …
