Phosphorus (P) is an important nutrient, whose concentrations are declining in many
European forest ecosystems. Here, we selected five old-aged temperate beech (Fagus …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient, but European forest ecosystems are experiencing
widespread declines in soil P concentrations. To clarify the roles of ectomycorrhizal (EM) …

Decreasing phosphorus (P) concentrations in leaves of beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) across
Europe raise the question about the implications for forest health. Considering the …

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 …

Phosphorus availability may shape plant–microorganism–soil interactions in forest
ecosystems. Our aim was to quantify the interactions between soil P availability and P …

Aims The accumulation of organic layers in forests is linked to decreasing nutrient
availability. Organic layers might represent a source of phosphorus (P) nutrition of trees in …

N and P are essential macronutrients for all organisms. How shifts in the availability of N or P
affect fungal communities in temperate forests is not well understood. Here, we conducted a …

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

The objective of this study was to determine temporal variations of phosphorus (P) uptake by
young beech trees (Fagus sylvatica L.) and soil microorganisms in two forests with …

Problems in phosphorus (P) nutrition of forest trees raise questions concerning the soil P
concentrations, pools and turnover in forests. In addition, it is not clear if, and to what extent …
