moderated by complex interactions between trees and soil microorganisms. However …

Metatranscriptomics sheds light on the links between the functional traits of fungal guilds and ecological processes in forest soil ecosystems

L Auer, M Buée, L Fauchery, V Lombard… - New …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Carbon sequestration is related to mycorrhizal fungal community shifts during long‐term succession in boreal forests

KE Clemmensen, RD Finlay, A Dahlberg… - New …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Boreal forest soils store a major proportion of the global terrestrial carbon (C) and below‐
