Background Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi provide one of the main pathways for carbon (C)
to move from trees into soils, where these fungi make significant contributions to microbial …

The distribution of mycorrhizal associations across biomes parallels a distinct gradient of soil
carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks, raising the question of how mycorrhizal traits relate to …

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 …

Many factors associated with forests are collectively responsible for controlling
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal community structure, including plant species composition …

As global change shifts the species composition of forests, we need to understand which
species characteristics affect soil organic matter (SOM) cycling to predict future soil carbon …

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

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF), a phylogenetically and physiologically diverse guild, form
symbiotic associations with many trees and greatly enhance their uptake of nutrients and …

Fungal communities have been shown to be highly sensitive toward shifts in plant diversity
and species composition in forest ecosystems. However, little is known about the impact of …

Host trees allocate photosynthates to ectomycorrhizal symbionts (ECMs) in exchange for soil
nutrients, and the carbon allocation has profound effects on forest carbon sequestration …

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