In temperate and boreal forests, competition for soil resources between free-living
saprotrophs and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi has been suggested to restrict saprotrophic …

Trees associating with different mycorrhizas often differ in their effects on litter
decomposition, nutrient cycling, soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics, and plant-soil …

Fungi regulate key nutrient cycling processes in many forest ecosystems, but their diversity
and distribution within and across ecosystems are poorly understood. Here, we examine the …

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

Dominant tree community mycorrhizal associations can influence soil biogeochemistry and
nutrient cycling, suggesting a prominent role of mycorrhizas in shaping belowground …

Plant–mycorrhizal fungal interactions are ubiquitous in forest ecosystems. While
ectomycorrhizal plants and their fungi generally dominate temperate forests, arbuscular …

Communities of litter saprotrophic and root‐associated fungi are vertically separated within
boreal forest soil profiles. It is unclear whether this depth partitioning is maintained …

Background Rhizosphere fungi play an important role in plant community dynamics and
biogeochemical cycling. While the drivers of fungal community assembly have been studied …

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

Exploring the link between above‐and belowground biodiversity has been a major theme of
recent ecological research, due in large part to the increasingly well‐recognized role that …
