Canadian boreal woodlands and forests cover approximately 3.09× 106 km2, located within
a larger boreal zone characterized by cool summers and long cold winters. Warming since …

Soil is one of the most biodiverse terrestrial habitats. Yet, we lack an integrative conceptual
framework for understanding the patterns and mechanisms driving soil biodiversity. One of …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi are essential for nitrogen (N) cycling in many temperate forests and
responsive to anthropogenic N addition, which generally decreases host carbon (C) …

The tree root–mycorhizosphere plays a key role in resource uptake, but also in the
adaptation of forests to changing environments. The adaptive foraging mechanisms of …

Fine root acclimation to different environmental conditions is crucial for growth and
sustainability of forest trees. Relatively small changes in fine root standing biomass (FRB) …

Environmental selection and dispersal limitation are two of the primary processes structuring
biotic communities in ecosystems, but little is known about these processes in shaping soil …

Fungi have important roles as decomposers, mycorrhizal root symbionts and pathogens in
forest ecosystems, but there is limited information about their diversity and composition at …

Interactions between Norway spruce trees and bacteria and fungi in nutrient limited boreal
forests can be beneficial for tree growth and fitness. Tree-level effects of anthropogenic …

Global change has altered nitrogen availability in boreal forest soils. As ectomycorrhizal
fungi play critical ecological functions, shifts in their abundance and community composition …

Ethiopian forests are rich in valuable types of non-wood forest products, including
mushrooms. However, despite their nutritional, economic, and ecological importance, wild …
