[HTML][HTML] The origin of bi-dimensionality in plant root traits
Plant roots show extraordinary diversity in form and function in heterogeneous
environments. Mounting evidence has shown global bi-dimensionality in root traits, the root …

Contrasting plant–soil–microbial feedbacks stabilize vegetation types and uncouple topsoil C and N stocks across a subarctic–alpine landscape
Global vegetation regimes vary in belowground carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics.
However, disentangling large‐scale climatic controls from the effects of intrinsic plant–soil …

Functional genomics gives new insights into the ectomycorrhizal degradation of chitin
Ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi play a crucial role in the mineral nitrogen (N) nutrition of their
host trees. While it has been proposed that several EcM species also mobilize organic N …

Peat loss collocates with a threshold in plant–mycorrhizal associations in drained peatlands encroached by trees
Drainage‐induced encroachment by trees may have major effects on the carbon balance of
northern peatlands, and responses of microbial communities are likely to play a central …

Depth‐dependent effects of ericoid mycorrhizal shrubs on soil carbon and nitrogen pools are accentuated under arbuscular mycorrhizal trees
Plant mycorrhizal associations influence the accumulation and persistence of soil organic
matter and could therefore shape ecosystem biogeochemical responses to global changes …

Stoichiometric imbalances between soil microorganisms and their resources regulate litter decomposition
Litter decomposition is dependent on the requirements of decomposer communities and
their ability to acquire energy and nutrients from their substrates (ie litter) and the …
