In forest ecosystems, ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungi play a central role in the
breakdown of soil organic matter (SOM). Competition between these two fungal guilds has …

Nitrogen (N) enrichment is an element of global change that could influence the growth and
abundance of many organisms. In this meta‐analysis, I synthesized responses of microbial …

The identification of plant functional traits that can be linked to ecosystem processes is of
wide interest, especially for predicting vegetational responses to climate change. Root …

Boreal forests harbour diverse fungal communities with decisive roles in decomposition and
plant nutrition. Although changes in boreal plant communities along gradients in soil acidity …

The influence of forest management on fungal diversity and community composition has
been the subject of a wide number of studies over the last two decades. However, the …

Elevated nitrogen (N) deposition in humid tropical regions may aggravate phosphorus (P)
deficiency in forest on old weathered soil found in these regions. From January 2007 to …

Global atmospheric nitrogen deposition has increased steadily since the 20th century, and
has complex effects on terrestrial ecosystems. This work synthesized results from 54 papers …

Extraradical mycelia of mycorrhizal fungi are normally the hidden half of the symbiosis, but
they are powerful underground influences upon biogeochemical cycling, the composition of …

In most cases, both roots and mycorrhizal fungi are needed for plant nutrient foraging.
Frequently, the colonization of roots by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi seems to be …

While direct plant responses to global change have been well characterized, indirect plant
responses to global change, via altered species interactions, have received less attention …
