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) …

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

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 …

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) …

Introduction Phosphorus (P) is often the first or second element limiting aboveground net
primary productivity of forests. Besides low available inorganic orthophosphate (Pi) …

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 …

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 …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are pivotal in acquiring phosphorus (P) in nutrient-deficient
soils, especially beyond the rhizosphere. However, the extent to which ECM community …

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 …

Tree growth is often limited by phosphorus (P) availability. The trade-off between P
homeostasis and growth is unknown. Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi facilitate P availability but …
