Forest trees rely on ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi to obtain growth‐limiting nutrients. While
addition of nitrogen (N) has the potential to disrupt these critical relationships, there is …

Forest trees are able to thrive in nutrient‐poor soils in part because they obtain growth‐
limiting nutrients, especially nitrogen (N), through mutualistic symbiosis with ectomycorrhizal …

Symbiosis with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi is an advantageous partnership for trees in
nutrient-limited environments. Ectomycorrhizal fungi colonize the roots of their hosts and …

Mineral nitrogen (N) is a major nutrient showing strong fluctuations in the environment due
to anthropogenic activities. The acquisition and translocation of N to forest trees are …

Multiple ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) compete to colonise the roots of a host plant, but it is
not known whether their success is under plant or fungal control, or a combination of both …

Increasing nitrogen (N) deposition often tends to negatively impact the functions of
belowground ectomycorrhizal networks, although the exact molecular mechanisms …

Carbon allocation of trees to ectomycorrhizas is thought to shape forest nutrient cycling, but
the sink activities of different fungal taxa for host resources are unknown. Here, we …

Multispecies mutualisms, such as the association between trees and ectomycorrhizal fungi,
are often shaped by environmental context. Here, we explored the functional mechanisms …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are crucial for tree nitrogen (N) nutrition; however, mechanisms
governing N transfer from fungal tissues to the host plant are not well understood. ECM …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are integral to boreal and temperate forest ecosystem
functioning and nutrient cycling. ECM fungi, however, originate from diverse saprotrophic …
