For more than 400 million years, mycorrhizal fungi and plants have formed partnerships that
are crucial to the emergence and functioning of global ecosystems. The importance of these …

Vegetation impacts on ecosystem functioning are mediated by mycorrhizas, plant–fungal
associations formed by most plant species. Ecosystems dominated by distinct mycorrhizal …

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 …

Mycorrhizal fungi are critical members of the plant microbiome, forming a symbiosis with the
roots of most plants on Earth. Most plant species partner with either arbuscular or …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 493–502 Abstract Understanding the factors that drive soil
carbon (C) accumulation is of fundamental importance given their potential to mitigate …

Respiration of soil organic carbon is one of the largest fluxes of CO 2 on earth.
Understanding the processes that regulate soil respiration is critical for predicting future …

Plants buffer increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations through
enhanced growth, but the question whether nitrogen availability constrains the magnitude of …

Central to soil health and plant productivity in natural ecosystems are in situ soil microbial
communities, of which mycorrhizal fungi are an integral component, regulating nutrient …

The nutrient and carbon (C) allocation dynamics in mycorrhizal hyphal networks cause
variation in costs and benefits for individual plants and fungi and influence the productivity …

How soil carbon balance will be affected by plant–mycorrhizal interactions under future
climate scenarios remains a significant unknown in our ability to forecast ecosystem carbon …
