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 …

Phosphorus deposition can stimulate both plant carbon inputs and microbial carbon outputs.
However, how P enrichment affects soil organic carbon (SOC) storage and the underlying …

Soil fungi, especially the functional guilds of saprotrophs and symbiotrophs, play a central
role in ecosystem processes such as decomposition and plant nutrient acquisition. Fungal …

The replacement of chemical fertilizer with organic fertilizer has been shown to boost soil
fertility and crop yield. However, there is limited information on fertilization schemes suitable …

Abstract On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the restoration of natural grasslands is an urgent
task, but finding the appropriate green restoration approach still faces many challenges. In …

Aboveground-belowground interactions are important drivers of terrestrial ecosystem
structure and function. However, changes in soil microbial diversity caused by shifts in the …

The soil fungal community is an important factor in the forest ecosystems, and a better
understanding of its composition and dynamic changes will contribute to the maintenance …

Key message In mixed combinations, the negative impact of water reduction and N addition
is mitigated for F. sylvatica, but not for conifers. Insight into the responses of trees in mixed …

Fine roots are crucial for water and nutrient acquisition in plants; yet it is unknown how
nutrient inputs and soil fertility in forests influence fine root biomass seasonal trajectories …

Due to increasing nitrogen (N) deposition from the atmosphere, temperate forests are
progressively becoming phosphorus (P) limited. Trees take up P mainly from the soil …
