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 …

Plant roots, their associated microbial community and free‐living soil microbes interact to
regulate the movement of carbon from the soil to the atmosphere, one of the most important …

Soil contains more carbon than the atmosphere and vegetation combined. Understanding
the mechanisms controlling the accumulation and stability of soil carbon is critical to …

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 …

Summary 1 In the conventional view of soil carbon (C) cycling, mycorrhizal fungi are
primarily considered vectors for plant C input to soils. However, there is accumulating …

The distribution of mycorrhizal associations across biomes parallels a distinct gradient of soil
carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks, raising the question of how mycorrhizal traits relate to …

The extent to which terrestrial ecosystems can sequester carbon to mitigate climate change
is a matter of debate. The stimulation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) by elevated …

The extent to which ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi enable plants to access organic nitrogen
(N) bound in soil organic matter (SOM) and transfer this growth‐limiting nutrient to their plant …

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 …

Rising atmospheric CO2 levels are predicted to have major consequences on carbon
cycling and the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. Increased photosynthetic activity is …
