Extraradical mycelia of mycorrhizal fungi are normally the hidden half of the symbiosis, but
they are powerful underground influences upon biogeochemical cycling, the composition of …

Root systems of Norway spruce (Picea abies) and poplar (Populus tremula) were long-term
exposed to metal-contaminated soils in open-top chambers to investigate the accumulation …

Eco-engineering aims at stabilising soil and slopes by applying technical and biological
measures. Engineering structures are commonly well defined, immediately usable and …

Here, a conceptual model is presented for the development of Phytophthora disease in
pedunculate oak. The model is presented using the causal loop diagram tool and gives an …

Mushrooms play an important role in the maintenance of ecosystem processes and
delivering ecosystem services, including food supply. They are also an important source of …

The root parameters of forest trees can be indicators of a changing environment. We
summarize the results of root studies with regard to the effects of acidifying pollutants …

Brassicaceae plants are nonmycorrhizal. They were found to inhibit VA mycorrhizal infection
in their host plants. We tested if they can influence growth of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi …

Background Predictive models shed light on aboveground fungal yield dynamics and can
assist decision-making in forestry by integrating this valuable non-wood forest product into …

The association between ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi and trees is at the heart of forest
ecosystems. Nowadays, this association is increasingly facing pressures resulting from …

The discovery of living representatives of extinct groups previously known only as fossil
remnants is interesting for several reasons. Darwin called them ''living fossils''(''these …
