The effects of nitrogen (N) deposition on plant litter and soil organic matter decomposition
differ depending on the stage of decomposition (early, late, and final stages). The effects can …

In this review, we discuss the potential for mycorrhizal fungi to act as a source or sink for
carbon (C) under elevated CO2 and nitrogen deposition. Mycorrhizal tissue has been …

Since mycorrhizal fungi constitute an important component of the soil–plant interface, their
responses to changes in nutrient availability may mediate shifts in ecosystem function. We …

This new edition of Fungi in Ecosystem Processes continues the unique approach of
examining the roles of fungi from the perspective of ecosystem functions. It explores how …

We evaluated arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) species diversity and abundance in nine
locations along an anthropogenic nitrogen deposition gradient in coastal sage scrub (CSS) …

As a result of increasing anthropogenic nitrogen deposition, N availability in many forest
ecosystems, which are normally N‐limited, has been enhanced. We discuss the impacts of …

A field study was carried out to evaluate the influence of N fertilization on the growth of the
external mycelium of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi in a Norway spruce forest in SW Sweden.• …

Changes in above‐and below‐ground ectomycorrhizal species composition are reported
following nitrogen addition for 2 yr to a subalpine spruce (Picea abies) stand.• The …

In boreal forest ecosystems, the richness and complexity of ecto-mycorrhizal (EM) fungal
communities are in striking contrast to the often species-poor stands of host trees. The …

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 …
