Understanding the factors that structure soil microbial communities and their relative
importance in determining local community assemblages is fundamental to understanding …

Commercial forestry increasingly aims at both optimizing timber production and maintaining
species diversity. To maintain the diversity of the species-rich group of wood-inhabiting …

Soil microorganisms influence the functions and processes of forest ecosystems, and their
composition is affected by natural and anthropogenic disturbances. Timber harvesting …

Fungi play key roles in forest soils and provide benefits to trees via mycorrhizal symbioses.
After severe disturbance, forest regrowth can be impeded because of changes in fungal …

Disturbances have altered community dynamics in boreal forests with unknown
consequences for belowground ecological processes. Soil fungi are particularly sensitive to …

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

Diversity patterns and dynamics at forest edges are not well understood. We disentangle the
relative importance of edge‐effect variables on spatio‐temporal patterns in species richness …

Latitudinal gradients provide opportunities to better understand soil fungal community
assembly and its relationship with vegetation, climate, soil and ecosystem function …

Theory surrounding landscape ecology has been built on the species distribution of birds
and plants, but increasing evidence now exists for below-ground organisms, whose …
