Temperate and boreal forests are increasingly suffering from anthropic degradation.
Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) are symbionts with most temperate and boreal forest trees …

Invasions of alien plants are typically studied as invasions of individual species, yet
interactions between plants and symbiotic fungi (mutualists and potential pathogens) affect …

The appeal of using microbial inoculants to mediate plant traits and productivity in managed
ecosystems has increased over the past decade, because microbes represent an alternative …

Belowground biota can deeply influence plant invasion. The presence of appropriate soil
mutualists can act as a driver to enable plants to colonize new ranges. We reviewed the …

Many species in the family Pinaceae are invaders. These species are relatively easy to
control because of some of their intrinsic characteristics and because they are highly visible …

Introduction pathways play a pivotal role in the success of Invasive Alien Species (IAS)—the
subset of alien species that have a negative environmental and/or socio-economic impact …

Fungi play key roles in ecosystems and human societies as decomposers, nutrient cyclers,
mutualists, and pathogens. Estimates suggest that roughly 3–13 million fungal species exist …

Plant–soil systems are key for understanding the effects of factors of global change. Recent
work has highlighted the general importance of considering the simultaneous incidence of …

Removing wilding conifers (invasive non-native trees in the Pinaceae) has become a major
focus of conservation and land management in Aotearoa New Zealand. Management of …
