Biomass allocation in plants is fundamental for understanding and predicting terrestrial
carbon storage. Yet, our knowledge regarding warming effects on root: shoot ratio (R/S) …

Although hypothesized for many years, the involvement of ectomycorrhizal fungi in
decomposition of soil organic matter remains controversial and has not yet been fully …

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 …

Dual‐mycorrhizal plants are capable of associating with fungi that form characteristic
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EM) structures. Here, we address the …

Respiration of soil organic carbon is one of the largest fluxes of CO 2 on earth.
Understanding the processes that regulate soil respiration is critical for predicting future …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi are thought to have a key role in mobilizing organic nitrogen that is
trapped in soil organic matter (SOM). However, the extent to which ectomycorrhizal fungi …

The extent to which ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi enable plants to access organic nitrogen
(N) bound in soil organic matter (SOM) and transfer this growth‐limiting nutrient to their plant …

Compared with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) forests, arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) forests are
hypothesized to have higher carbon (C) cycling rates and a more open nitrogen (N) cycle …

An increasing number of studies utilize enzymatic C: N: P stoichiometry (Sinsabaugh et al.,
2009) to infer nutrient limitation of soil microorganisms (Feyissa et al., 2022, Xie et al., 2022 …

In northern forests, belowground sequestration of nitrogen (N) in complex organic pools
restricts nutrient availability to plants. Oxidative extracellular enzymes produced by …
