Plant litter decomposition is a central process in the carbon (C) cycle and sensitive to
ongoing anthropogenic nitrogen (N) fertilisation. Previous syntheses evaluating the effect of …

Microbial residual carbon (C) plays a crucial role in soil organic C (SOC) stabilization, and
exogenous nutrients have frequently been observed to increase the proportion of microbial …

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

Trees associating with different mycorrhizas often differ in their effects on litter
decomposition, nutrient cycling, soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics, and plant-soil …

To predict the effects of nitrogen deposition on nitrogen-mineralizing enzyme activity and
soil microbial community structure in artificial temperate forests in northern China, we …

Plant invasion typically alters the microbial communities of soils, which affects ecosystem
carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles. The responses of the soil fungal communities to plant …

Soil fungi are fundamental drivers of forest ecosystem processes. Soil physico-chemical
parameters and vegetation features such as host type or stand structure can affect soil …

Although replanting broad-leaved trees in coniferous forest has been proven to increase
stand soil quality, it is unclear how this prevalent forest management regime affects the soil …

Forests acting as carbon storage and sequestration play an essential role in the global
nutrient cycle, in which fungi are active participants. The forests cover almost all regions from …

Soil fungi play an indispensable role in forest ecosystems by participating in energy flow,
material circulation, and assisting plant growth and development. Larix gmelinii is the …
