Plant roots, their associated microbial community and free‐living soil microbes interact to
regulate the movement of carbon from the soil to the atmosphere, one of the most important …

Mycorrhizal fungi benefit plants by improved mineral nutrition and protection against stress,
yet information about fundamental differences among mycorrhizal types in fungi and trees …

Tree species identity is one of the key factors driving ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungal richness
and community composition in boreal and temperate forest ecosystems, but little is known …

Mycorrhizal fungi are known for their functional importance in plant growth and nutrition, and
because these symbiotic fungi represent a fundamental linkage between plants and soils …

Plant–microbial interactions in soils are considered to play a central role in regulating
biodiversity in many global ecosystems. However, studies on plant–soil feedbacks (PSFs) …

A major gap in our understanding of biodiversity–ecosystem function relationships concerns
the role of intra‐and interspecific diversity of mycorrhizal fungi, which are critical for plant …

Field studies indicate an intensification of mineral weathering with advancement from
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) to later-evolving ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungal partners of …

Plant genetic variation, through its phenotypic display, can determine the composition of
below ground microbial communities. Variation within a species is increasingly …

Our understanding of how saprotrophic and mycorrhizal fungi interact to re‐circulate carbon
and nutrients from plant litter and soil organic matter is limited by poor understanding of their …

Fungal communities are important for carbon (C) transformations in boreal forests that are
one of the largest C pools in terrestrial ecosystems, warranting thus further investigation of …
