Increasing nitrogen (N) deposition often tends to negatively impact the functions of
belowground ectomycorrhizal networks, although the exact molecular mechanisms …

Ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungal communities may be shaped by both deterministic and
stochastic processes, potentially influencing ecosystem development and function. We …

Ectomycorrhizal plants trade plant‐assimilated carbon for soil nutrients with their fungal
partners. The underlying mechanisms, however, are not fully understood. Here we …

Ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) fungi are specifically symbiotic with plants in the family Ericaceae.
Little is known thus far about their symbiotic establishment and subsequent nitrogen (N) …

The hyphae of ectomycorrhizal and ericoid mycorrhizal fungi proliferate in nitrogen (N)-
limited forests and tundra where the availability of inorganic N is low; under these conditions …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play important roles in carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and
phosphorus (P) cycling of terrestrial ecosystems. The impact of increasing N deposition on …

The interactions between roots and mycorrhizal fungi are critical for our understanding of the
multidimensional root economics space. Our knowledge on their relationships comes mainly …

Nitrogen isotope (δ 15 N) patterns in plants may provide insight into plant N dynamics. Here,
two analytical models of N‐isotope cycling in plants and mycorrhizal fungi were tested, as …

Soil fungi belonging to different functional guilds, such as saprotrophs, pathogens, and
mycorrhizal symbionts, play key roles in forest ecosystems. To date, no study has compared …

Beech (Fagus sylvatica), a dominant forest species in Central Europe, competes for nitrogen
with soil microbes and suffers from N limitation under dry conditions. We hypothesized that …
