The supply of nitrogen commonly limits plant production in boreal forests and also affects
species composition and ecosystem functions other than plant growth. These interrelations …

Plant nutrient‐acquisition strategies drive soil processes and vegetation performance, but
their effect on the soil microbiome remains poorly understood. This knowledge is important …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) represent an important route for plant carbon (C) inputs
into the soil. Nonetheless, the C input via AMF as well as its impact on soil organic matter …

Numerous studies have reported that treelines are moving to higher elevations and higher
latitudes. Most treelines are temperature limited and warmer climate expands the area in …

Bacteria and fungi, representing two major soil microorganism groups, play an important
role in global nutrient biogeochemistry. Biogeographic patterns of bacterial and fungal …

Communities of litter saprotrophic and root‐associated fungi are vertically separated within
boreal forest soil profiles. It is unclear whether this depth partitioning is maintained …

Forest soils store large amounts of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), yet how predicted shifts in
forest composition will impact long‐term C and N persistence remains poorly understood. A …

The rhizosphere is the central hotspot of water and nutrient uptake by plants,
rhizodeposition, microbial activities, and plant-soil-microbial interactions. The plasticity of …

In the processes controlling ecosystem fertility, fungi are increasingly acknowledged as key
drivers. However, our understanding of the rules behind fungal community assembly …

Many trees form ectomycorrhizal symbiosis with fungi. During symbiosis, the tree roots
supply sugar to the fungi in exchange for nitrogen, and this process is critical for the nitrogen …
