Forest management has a potential to alter below‐ground carbon storage. However, the
underlying mechanisms, and the relative importance of carbon input and decomposition in …

Tree growth resources and the efficiency of resource-use for biomass production determine
the productivity of forest ecosystems. In nutrient-limited forests, nitrogen (N)-fertilization …

Coniferous forests with diverse ectomycorrhizal fungus (EMF) communities are associated
with nutrient-poor, acidic soils but there is some debate whether EMF can be equally …

Functionally, ectomycorrhizal (ECM) and saprotrophic (SAP) fungi belong to different guilds,
and they play contrasting roles in forest ecosystem C-cycling. SAP fungi acquire C by …

Atmospheric pollution has implications for the health and diversity of temperate forests
covering large parts of central Europe. Long-term elevated anthropogenic deposition of …

The filamentous fungi have dynamic and variable hyphal structures within which cytoplasm
can be moved, synthesized, and degraded, in response to changes in environmental …

Almost all boreal and temperate forest tree species live in symbiosis with ectomycorrhizal
fungi (EMF); the trees transfer carbon (C) to the fungi in exchange for nutrients and water …

Extensive knowledge of various ectomycorrhizal fungal communities has been obtained
over the past 10 years based on molecular identification of the fungi colonizing fine roots. In …

We review the state‐of‐the‐art of cross‐disciplinary knowledge on phosphorus (P) cycling in
temperate forest ecosystems, focused at studies from hydrology, biology, biogeochemistry …

Direct estimates of C: N ratios of ectomycorrhizal (EM) mycelia growing in situ in forest soils
have been obtained for the first time. The mycelial samples were collected from sand-filled …
