Fungi contribute extensively to a wide range of ecosystem processes, including
decomposition of organic carbon, deposition of recalcitrant carbon, and transformations of …

Languishing for many years in the shadow of plant inorganic nitrogen (N) nutrition research,
studies of organic N uptake have attracted increased attention during the last decade. The …

Summary 1 In the conventional view of soil carbon (C) cycling, mycorrhizal fungi are
primarily considered vectors for plant C input to soils. However, there is accumulating …

New information on N uptake and transport of inorganic and organic N in arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi is reviewed here. Hyphae of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus …

The recently recognized importance of organic nitrogen (ON), particularly amino acids, to
plant nutrition in many types of agricultural and natural ecosystems has raised questions …

Mycorrhizae play a critical role in nutrient capture from soils. Arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM)
and ectomycorrhizae (EM) are the most important mycorrhizae in agricultural and natural …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi are symbiotically associated microorganisms which ecological
importance has been repeatedly demonstrated. There has been a considerable amount of …

As a result of increasing anthropogenic nitrogen deposition, N availability in many forest
ecosystems, which are normally N‐limited, has been enhanced. We discuss the impacts of …

Ectomycorrhizal fungal species vary in their response to nitrogen (N) availability and ability
to use organic N. We hypothesized that taxa dominant at sites with high soil inorganic N …

Cadmium uptake and subcellular compartmentation in the ectomycorrhizal fungus Paxillus
involutus were investigated using radiotracer flux analyses. Concentration-dependent Cd2+ …
