Ectomycorrhizal fungal (EMF) communities are extremely species-rich in most forest
ecosystems (Horton and Bruns 2001). The number of EMF species can often reach more …

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 …

Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi play important roles in nutrient cycling and plant community
establishment in forest ecosystems. Effects of EM formation on global alterations of the …

Research on mycorrhizal symbiosis has been slowed by a lack of established study
systems. To address this challenge, we have been developing Suillus, a widespread …

A number of recent studies suggest that interspecific competition plays a key role in
determining the structure of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal communities. Despite this …

The ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis can cause both positive and negative feedback with
trees under elevated CO2. Positive feedback arises if the additional carbon (C) increases …

Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi are pivotal drivers of ecosystem functioning in temperate and
boreal forests. They constitute an important pathway for plant-derived carbon into the soil …

In this letter we propose a first large-scale assessment of mycorrhizas with a European-wide
network of intensively monitored forest plots as a research platform. This effort would create …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal communities covary with host plant communities along soil
fertility gradients, yet it is unclear whether this reflects changes in host composition, fungal …

Mycorrhizal fungi can affect soil organic matter cycling through several mechanisms
including priming, nutrient competition, and direct enzyme production. Differences in nutrient …
