The replacement of native birch with Norway spruce has been initiated in Norway to
increase long‐term carbon storage in forests. However, there is limited knowledge on the …

Fungi play a pivotal role as highly effective decomposers of plant residues and essential
mycorrhizal symbionts, augmenting water and nutrient uptake in plants and contributing to …

Predicting changes in carbon and nutrient cycles in plantations requires a mechanistic
understanding of the effects of stand age on soil quality and microbial communities. Here …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) are important components of soil microbial communities, and
EMF biomass can potentially increase carbon (C) stocks by accumulating in the soils as …

Bryophytes are a dominant vegetation component of the boreal forest, but little is known
about their associated fungal communities, including seasonal variation within them.• …

Fungi are important ecological agents in forests that contribute to increase the resilience of
the whole ecosystem against environmental challenges. Mediterranean forests rank among …

Mushrooms are important non-wood-forest-products in many Mediterranean ecosystems,
being highly vulnerable to climate change. However, the ecological scales of variation of …

Deconvoluting the relative contributions made by specific biotic and abiotic drivers to soil
fungal community compositions facilitates predictions about the functional responses of …

The vertical partitioning of fungi in forest soils regulates nutrient cycling. Chemical stress
inhibits the organic matter turnover, and the role of fungal niche partitioning in this …

Trees residues decomposition is a key step in forested ecosystems. In the context of
sclerophyllous Mediterranean forests, the effects of residue quality on soil organic matter …
