Temperature sensitivity (Q10) of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition is a crucial
parameter to predict the fate of soil carbon (C) under global warming. Nonetheless, the …

Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis (Hpa) is an obligately biotrophic downy mildew that is
routinely cultured on Arabidopsis thaliana hosts that harbour complex microbiomes. We …

Organic amendments such as biochar and vermicompost have been reported to improve
soil and plant properties. However, whether the co-application of the two amendments has a …

Harnessing plant microbiota can assist in sustainably increasing primary productivity to meet
growing global demands for food and biofuel. However, development of rational microbiome …

While high-throughput sequencing methods are revolutionizing fungal ecology, recovering
accurate estimates of species richness and abundance has proven elusive. We sought to …

Boreal forest soils store a major proportion of the global terrestrial carbon (C) and below‐
ground inputs contribute as much as above‐ground plant litter to the total C stored in the …

Boreal forest soils function as a terrestrial net sink in the global carbon cycle. The prevailing
dogma has focused on aboveground plant litter as a principal source of soil organic matter …

Rapid development of high-throughput (HTS) molecular identification methods has
revolutionized our knowledge about taxonomic diversity and ecology of fungi. However …

Novel high‐throughput sequencing methods outperform earlier approaches in terms of
resolution and magnitude. They enable identification and relative quantification of …

Fungi are key players in vital ecosystem services, spanning carbon cycling, decomposition,
symbiotic associations with cultivated and wild plants and pathogenicity. The high …
