The field of ectomycorrhizal fungal (EMF) ecology has largely developed outside the
ecological mainstream, owing in large part to the challenges in studying the structure and …

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

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) form symbioses with a few plant species that comprise a large
fraction of the arctic vegetation. Despite their importance, the identity, abundance and …

From the phytocentric perspective, a mycorrhizal network (MN) is formed when the roots of
two or more plants are colonized by the same fungal genet. MN s can be modelled as …

Increased CO2 emissions and global warming may alter the composition of fungal
communities through the removal of temperature limitation in the plant–soil system, faster …

Ectomycorrhizal fungal (EMF) communities are extremely species-rich in most forest
ecosystems (Horton and Bruns 2001). The number of EMF species can often reach more …

Temperate forests are threatened by urbanization and fragmentation, with over
20%(118,300 km2) of US forest land projected to be subsumed by urban land development …

California coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia) forms tripartite symbiotic associations with
arbuscular (AMF) and ectomycorrhizal (EMF) fungi. We selected oak individuals differing in …

Climate change is altering the interactions among plants and soil organisms in ways that will
alter the structure and function of ecosystems. We reviewed the literature and developed a …

Increases in summer droughts and nitrogen (N) deposition have raised concerns of
widespread biodiversity loss and nutrient imbalances, but our understanding of the …
