Trees interact with a multitude of microbes through their roots and root symbionts such as
mycorrhizal fungi and root endophytes. Here, we explore the role of fungal root symbionts as …

Northern temperate forests are sensitive to nitrogen deposition. Korean pines are the zonal
dominant vegetation in these forest ecosystems and a typical obligate ectomycorrhizal …

Understanding how genetic differences among soil microorganisms regulate spatial patterns
in litter decay remains a persistent challenge in ecology. Despite fine root litter accounting …

In a recently published classification scheme for Leotiomycetes, the new family
Hyphodiscaceae was erected; unfortunately, this study was rife with phylogenetic …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi live in close association with their host plants and form complex
interactions with bacterial/archaeal communities in soil. We investigated whether abundant …

The role of ectomycorrhizae has often been overlooked during the ecological restoration of
southern beech (Nothofagaceae) forests. This interaction may prove to be vital when trying …

Plant-microbial symbioses play crucial roles in ecological and biogeochemical processes
such as carbon and nutrient cycling, plant-soil feedback, and evolutionary dynamics …
