Mycorrhizal symbioses between plants and fungi are vital for the soil structure, nutrient
cycling, plant diversity, and ecosystem sustainability. More than 250 000 plant species are …

Fine root decomposition is a physio-biochemical activity that is critical to the global carbon
cycle (C) in forest ecosystems. It is crucial to investigate the mechanisms and factors that …

Soil multifunctionality represents a range of soil processes driven by the interactions
between soil abiotic and biotic components. As a group of ubiquitous fungi that form …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play an important role in organic matter (OM) stabilization
in Fe ore tailings for eco-engineered soil formation. However, little has been understood …

Reactive primary and secondary minerals play a critical role in the transformation and
stabilization of organic matter (OM) in soil, a critical aspect that has been largely overlooked …

Although positive effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi on plant performance under
drought have been well documented, how AM fungi regulate soil functions and …

The soil organic carbon (SOC) pool is larger than the combined carbon stock in vegetation
and in the atmosphere (Davidson et al., 2000; Schmidt et al., 2011; Scharlemann et al …

Plant belowground carbon (C) inputs from roots and associated mycorrhizal hyphae are
increasingly recognized as critical drivers impacting soil organic C (SOC) pool. However …

Soil health is an important component of “One health”. Soils provide habitat to diverse and
abundant organisms. Understanding microbial diversity and functions is essential for …

Arctic tundra ecosystems store a significant proportion of the global soil organic carbon (C).
However, warming-induced shrub encroachment and reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L.) …
