There is growing evidence of the importance of extramatrical mycelium (EMM) of mycorrhizal
fungi in carbon (C) cycling in ecosystems. However, our understanding has until recently …

Mycorrhizal fungi are responsible for most nutrient uptake by the majority of land plants. As
such, mycorrhizas are increasingly recognized as important drivers of terrestrial ecosystem …

Abstract Fine roots (< 2 mm) are very dynamic and play a key role in forest ecosystem
carbon and nutrient cycling and accumulation. We reviewed root biomass data of three main …

Ground-level ozone (O3) has gained awareness as an agent of climate change. In this
respect, key results are comprehended from a unique 8-year free-air O3-fumigation …

The relationships between plant carbon resources, soil carbon and nitrogen content, and
ectomycorrhizal fungal (EMF) diversity in a monospecific, old-growth beech (Fagus …

Recent evidence from novel phytotron and free-air ozone (O3) fumigation experiments in
Europe and America on forest tree species is highlighted in relation to previous chamber …

Fine roots and above‐ground litterfall play a pivotal role in carbon dynamics in forests.
Nonetheless, direct estimation of stocks of fine roots remains methodologically challenging …

We studied the colonization of ectomycorrhizal fungi and species abundance of a hybrid
larch (F 1) under elevated CO 2 and O 3. Two-year-old seedlings were planted in an Open …

We tested the hypothesis that carbon productivity of beech (Fagus sylvatica) controls
ectomycorrhizal colonization, diversity and community structures. Carbon productivity was …

Excess deposition of the mineral nutrient nitrogen (N) is a serious threat for European
forests. Its effect on foliar nutrient concentrations of Fagus sylvatica, along with other …
