Ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) shrubs commonly occur in forest understories and could therefore
alter arbuscular (AM) and/or ectomycorrhizal (EcM) tree effects on soil carbon and nitrogen …

The tropics were long considered to have few ectomycorrhizal fungi, presumably due to a
paucity of ectomycorrhizal host plants relative to higher-latitude ecosystems. However, an …

Soil microbiome has a pivotal role in ecosystem functioning, yet little is known about its build-
up from local to regional scales. In a multi-year regional-scale survey involving 1251 plots …

High soil salinity is the main factor that limits soil microbial activity in the Yellow River Delta
(YRD); however, its effects on fungal community and ecological function are unknown. Here …

A key aspect of global forest management, woodland use intensity (WUI) greatly affects the
composition and diversity of soil microbial communities, thereby affecting multiple …

Plant invasion typically alters the microbial communities of soils, which affects ecosystem
carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles. The responses of the soil fungal communities to plant …

Soil fungi play vital roles in natural ecosystems, however, their community distribution
patterns along different environmental gradients and ecological assembly processes remain …

Abstract The Dry Afromontane forests in Northern Ethiopia have been cleared for agriculture
and reduced to small and isolated fragments. Most of these forests are located around …

Fungi play an important role in maintaining tropical forest diversity. However, little research
to date has examined the effects of forest conversion (from rainforest to rubber plantation) on …

Forest management aimed to maximize timber production might impact soil fungi, especially
those symbiotically associated to tree roots. In this study, we analyse the temporal dynamics …
