Trees interact with a multitude of microbes through their roots and root symbionts such as
mycorrhizal fungi and root endophytes. Here, we explore the role of fungal root symbionts as …

Forests are ecosystems critical to understanding the global carbon budget, due to their
carbon sequestration potential in both aboveground and belowground compartments …

Species‐specific differences in nutrient acquisition strategies allow for complementary use
of resources among plants in mixtures, which may be further shaped by mycorrhizal …

Understanding the complex interactions between trees and fungi is crucial for forest
ecosystem management, yet the influence of tree mycorrhizal types, species identity, and …

Plant diversity and plant-related ecosystem functions have been important in biodiversity-
ecosystem functioning studies. However, biotic interactions with mycorrhizal fungi have …

Deciphering the relationships between microbes and their host plants is critical for a better
understanding of microbial diversity maintenance and community stability. Here, we …

Increasing biodiversity loss profoundly affects community structure and ecosystem
functioning. However, the differences in community assembly and potential drivers of the co …

Soil microbial communities play crucial roles in the earth's biogeochemical cycles. Yet, their
genomic potential for nutrient cycling in association with tree mycorrhizal type and tree-tree …

Efforts to catalog global biodiversity have often focused on aboveground taxonomic
diversity, with limited consideration of belowground communities. However, diversity …

The relationship between biodiversity and multitrophic ecosystem functions (BEF) remains
poorly studied in forests. There have been inconsistent reports regarding the significance of …
