In addition to their well‐recognized roles in plant nutrition and communities, mycorrhizas can
influence the key ecosystem process of soil aggregation. Here we review the contribution of …

It is well known that beneficial plant-associated microorganisms may stimulate plant growth
and enhance resistance to disease and abiotic stresses. The effects of climate change …

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 …

There is plenty of evidence for improved nutrient acquisition by ectomycorrhizas in trees;
however, their role in water uptake is much less clear. In addition to experiments showing …

Ecosystem functions directly depend upon biophysical as well as biogeochemical reactions
occurring at the soil-microbe-plant interface. Environment is considered as a major driver of …

Abstract Background and Aims The movement of water through mycorrhizal fungal tissues
and between the fungus and roots is little understood. It has been demonstrated that …

The turnover of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungal biomass represents a significant input into
forest carbon (C) and nutrient cycles. Given the size of these fluxes, understanding the …

Global climate changes have serious consequences on natural ecosystems and cause
diverse environmental abiotic stressors that negatively affect plant growth and development …

I have attempted to reach a wide range of readers, from those with no formal forestry
education through to forest scientists involved in research. This has meant dealing with …

Ectomycorrhizas (EMs) alleviate stress tolerance of host plants, but the underlying molecular
mechanisms are unknown. To elucidate the basis of EM-induced physiological changes and …
