In boreal forest soils, ectomycorrhizal fungi are fundamentally important for carbon (C)
dynamics and nutrient cycling. Although their extraradical mycelium (ERM) is pivotal for …

Fungi are an integral part of the nitrogen and phosphorus cycling in trophic networks, as
they participate in biomass decomposition and facilitate plant nutrition through root …

Fungi are known to exert a significant influence over soil organic matter (SOM) turnover,
however understanding of the effects of fungal community structure on SOM dynamics and …

Fungi play key roles in forest ecosystems and help to shape the forest's diverse functions.
However, little is known about the diversity of phyllospheric fungi or their possible …

Interactions between symbiotic ectomycorrhizal (EM) and free‐living saprotrophs can result
in significant deceleration of leaf litter decomposition. While this phenomenon is widely …

Beech forests reaches its native distribution limit in SE Norway, but is expected to expand
substantially northwards due to climate warming. This may potentially result in a …

Introduction Fungal communities are key players in the soil biogeochemical processes of
forest ecosystems. Although it has been illustrated that soil fungi are susceptible 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 …

The external mycelium (EM) is an important structural element of the symbiosis between
mycorrhizal fungi and trees, fulfilling several important functions in their development and …

The diversity and factors influencing fungal assemblages in phyllosphere of Mediterranean
tree species have been barely studied, especially when endophytic and epiphytic …
