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 mutualistic relationship between mycorrhizal fungi and plant roots is a widespread
terrestrial symbiosis. The symbiosis enables plants to better adapt to adverse soil conditions …

At present, studies on the application of biochar in citrus production are rare and
unsystematic. Our research systematically explored the effects of biochar on citrus quality …

Analytical methods can offer insights into the structure of biological networks, but
mechanisms that determine the structure of these networks remain unclear. We conducted a …

Fungi are dominant ecological participants in the forest ecosystems, which play a major role
in recycling organic matter and channeling nutrients across trophic levels. Fungal …

Plant–fungal associations strongly influence forest carbon and nitrogen cycling. The
prevailing framework for understanding these relationships is through the relative …

Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) are one of the most studied groups of root fungal
endophytes in recent years. However, the effects of DSE on host plant are still under debate …

Plants harbor in their external surfaces and internal tissues a highly diverse and finely
structured microbial assembly, the microbiota. Each plant compartment usually represents a …

Root‐colonizing fungi form species‐rich assemblages with key functions in principal
ecosystem processes, making them prospectively important players in conservation and …

Despite the ecological significance of ericoid mycorrhizal fungi, little is known about the
abiotic and biotic factors driving their diversity and community composition. To determine the …
