Microbial life represents the majority of Earth's biodiversity. Across disparate disciplines from
medicine to forestry, scientists continue to discover how the microbiome drives essential …

Increased human‐derived nitrogen (N) loading in terrestrial ecosystems has caused
widespread ecosystem‐level phosphorus (P) limitation. In response, plants and soil micro …

Plant growth is usually constrained by the availability of nutrients, water, or temperature,
rather than photosynthetic carbon (C) fixation. Under these conditions leaf growth is …

Inhabiting the interface between plant roots and soil, mycorrhizal fungi play a unique but
underappreciated role in soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics. Their hyphae provide an …

Mycorrhizal fungi benefit plants by improved mineral nutrition and protection against stress,
yet information about fundamental differences among mycorrhizal types in fungi and trees …

Despite widespread anthropogenic nutrient enrichment, it remains unclear how nutrient
enrichment influences plant–arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) symbiosis and ecosystem …

Fungal decomposition of soil organic matter depends on soil nitrogen (N) availability. This
ecosystem process is being jeopardized by changes in N inputs that have resulted from a …

Conservation of soil health and crop productivity is the central theme for sustainable
agriculture practices. It is unrealistic to expect that the burgeoning crop production demands …

Boreal forest soils are important global carbon sinks, with significant storage in the organic
topsoil. Decomposition of these stocks requires oxidative enzymes, uniquely produced by …

The influence of forest management on fungal diversity and community composition has
been the subject of a wide number of studies over the last two decades. However, the …
