Inter-kingdom belowground carbon (C) transfer is a significant, yet hidden, biological
phenomenon, due to the complexity and highly dynamic nature of soil ecology. Among key …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are key players in forest carbon (C) sequestration, receiving a
substantial proportion of photosynthetic C from their forest tree hosts in exchange for plant …

The mutualistic symbiosis between forest trees and ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) is among
the most ubiquitous and successful interactions in terrestrial ecosystems. Specific species of …

Processes governing the fixation, partitioning, and mineralization of carbon in soils are
under increasing scrutiny as we develop a more comprehensive understanding of global …

Mycorrhizal fungi can colonize multiple trees of a single or multiple taxa, facilitating
bidirectional exchange of carbon between trees. Mycorrhiza‐induced carbon transfer was …

Carbon allocation of trees to ectomycorrhizas is thought to shape forest nutrient cycling, but
the sink activities of different fungal taxa for host resources are unknown. Here, we …

Background: Carbon can move below ground between ectomycorrhizal plants, but the
relative importance of transfer through common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs) or soil …

Symbiosis with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi is an advantageous partnership for trees in
nutrient-limited environments. Ectomycorrhizal fungi colonize the roots of their hosts and …

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

Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi form relationships with higher plants; plants transfer C to fungi,
and fungi transfer nutrients to their host. While evidence indicates that this interaction is …
