Many forest tree species form symbiotic associations with either arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)
or ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi to increase access to nutrients. ECM and AM differ in …

Phosphorus (P) is one of the most limiting elements for efficient plant growth and
regeneration, coexisting plants are found to be able to partition soil P components through …

Partitioning of soil phosphorus (P) pools has been proposed as a key mechanism
maintaining plant diversity, but experimental support is lacking. Here, we provided different …

Tree species establish mycorrhizal associations with both ectomycorrhizal (EM) and
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM), which play crucial roles in facilitating plant phosphorus …

Aims Plant roots show various functional strategies in soil phosphorus (P) acquisition. Under
limited soil phosphatase activity, P deficiency is the main concern, and roots either invest …

Although much is known about how trees and their associated microbes influence nitrogen
cycling in temperate forest soils, less is known about biotic controls over phosphorus (P) …

Aims Soil phosphorus (P) availability regulates plant performance in many forests, but the
mechanisms under-pinning these effects are unclear, which limits our ability to adequately …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential but limited nutrient in highly weathered subtropical or tropical
forest soils; however, increased P demands owing to elevated nitrogen (N) deposition might …

Many forest tree species are dependent on their symbiotic interaction with ectomycorrhizal
(ECM) fungi for phosphorus (P) uptake from forest soils where P availability is often limited …

Phosphorus (P) is an important nutrient, whose plant-available form phosphate is often low
in natural forest ecosystems. Mycorrhizal fungi mine the soil for P and supply their host with …
