Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi form symbiotic associations with plant roots that regulate nutrient
exchange between forest plants and soil. Environmental metagenomics approaches that …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) represent one of the major guilds of symbiotic fungi associated
with roots of forest trees, where they function to improve plant nutrition and fitness in …

Associations between arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and plants are an ancient and
widespread plant microbe symbioses. Most land plants can associate with this specialized …

Soil fungi belonging to different functional guilds, such as saprotrophs, pathogens, and
mycorrhizal symbionts, play key roles in forest ecosystems. To date, no study has compared …

Mycorrhizal symbioses between plants and fungi are vital for the soil structure, nutrient
cycling, plant diversity, and ecosystem sustainability. More than 250 000 plant species are …

Some soil fungi in the Leotiomycetes form ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) symbioses with
Ericaceae. In the harsh habitats in which they occur, ERM plant survival relies on nutrient …

The symbiotic interaction of plants with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is ancient and
widespread. Plants provide AM fungi with carbon in exchange for nutrients and water …

Background Mycorrhizae, symbiotic interactions between soil fungi and tree roots, are
ubiquitous in terrestrial ecosystems. The fungi contribute phosphorous, nitrogen and …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal and ectomycorrhizal symbioses are among the most important
drivers of terrestrial ecosystem dynamics. Historically, the two types of symbioses have been …

Mycorrhizas are widespread below‐ground symbioses formed between plant roots and soil
fungi. This plant–fungal partnership impacts terrestrial ecosystems by mediating plant …
