Nitrogen (N) is an important component of the forest soils and plays a pivotal role in the
ecosystem's health, also in broadleaf and Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) forests …

We still lack crucial knowledge about the contribution of plant vs. microbial residues to
specific SOM pools, particularly the relative contribution of arbuscular (AM), ectomycorrhizal …

Trees interact with a multitude of microbes through their roots and root symbionts such as
mycorrhizal fungi and root endophytes. Here, we explore the role of fungal root symbionts as …

Soils harbor a vast diversity of soil microbiota, which play a crucial role in key ecosystem
processes such as litter transformation and mineralization, but how complex plant-soil …

Plant-soil feedback (PSF) is an important driver of plant species coexistence and diversity
maintenance. However, it remains unclear how changes in PSF due to decline in tree …

Dominant tree community mycorrhizal associations can influence soil biogeochemistry and
nutrient cycling, suggesting a prominent role of mycorrhizas in shaping belowground …

Data for stable C and N isotope natural abundances of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi
are currently sparse, as fungal material is difficult to access for analysis. So far, isotope …

Methods for sequencing microbial communities are constantly improving, necessitating
storage of samples for future analyses. However, tests of different storage approaches have …

The mycorrhizal type of dominant trees (“mycorrhizal dominance”) likely affects other non-
mycorrhizal fungal guilds by means of soil resource partitioning and/or competition (ie, by …

While mycorrhization rates have been studied in different contexts, not much is known about
their temporal patterns across seasons. Here, we asked how mycorrhization rates of 10 …
