Suites of fungal adaptation to nutrient acquisition and allocation of vegetations are observed
along forest succession gradients. However, the mechanisms behind seral shifts in plant …

Soil fungi play critical roles in ecosystem processes and are sensitive to global changes.
Elevated atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition has been well documented to impact on …

The vertical stratification of nutrient availability and related microbial adaptations in different
soil horizons vary along forest succession gradients. However, the driving forces behind …

Background and aims Under chronically elevated N deposition, N retention mainly occur at
high soil C-to-N ratio. This may be mediated through soil microbes, such as ectomycorrhizal …

Soil fungi play a critical role in the carbon and nutrient cycling of forest ecosystems.
Identifying the composition of soil fungi in response to the broadleaf restoration of Pinus …

Land use change is one of the greatest threats to soil biodiversity and ecological functions;
however, how such a transition affects soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics driven by …

Nitrogen (N) enrichment poses threats to biodiversity and ecosystem stability, while
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play important roles in ecosystem stability and …

Nitrogen (N) deposition has marked effects on the structure and function of global forest
ecosystems. Many forest tree species rely upon a symbiotic association with ectomycorrhizal …

Soil fungi and plants are tightly linked in pathogenic, commensal, and mutualistic ways.
These interactions play a critical role in terrestrial ecosystem decomposition, nutrient cycling …

The conversion of natural forests to plantations affects soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N)
dynamics. However, the underlying microbial mechanisms of C and N dynamics caused by …
