Microorganisms around the globe play a considerable role in the health and function of
individual organisms, including humans, and entire ecosystems. The stability and well-being …

Forest soil fungal communities are extremely complex and diverse, and show a range of
different lifestyles from saprotrophs, endophytes, pathogens, and mycorrhizal species …

Soil fungal communities vary spatially due to factors including variations in plant diversity
and soil characteristics; however, the relative influences of these factors on composition and …

Knowledge of how forest management influences soil microbial community interactions is
necessary for complete understanding of forest ecology. In this study, soil microbial …

Soil fungi are vital to forest ecosystem function, in part through their role mediating tree
responses to environmental factors, as well as directly through effects on resource cycling …

ABSTRACT A large part of ecosystem function in woodland systems depends on soil fungal
communities. However, global climate change has the potential to fundamentally alter these …

Environmental variables shifted by climate change act as driving factors in determining plant-
associated microbial communities in terrestrial ecosystems. However, how elevation …

Mycorrhizal fungi can affect soil organic matter cycling through several mechanisms
including priming, nutrient competition, and direct enzyme production. Differences in nutrient …

Globally soils contain three times as much carbon (C) as the Earth's atmosphere, with an
additional 5-10% as much C stored in coarse woody debris as in the atmosphere. Due to the …

Predicting the impact of environmental change on soil microbial functions requires an
understanding of how environmental factors shape microbial composition. Here, we …
