Viewing plant species by their mycorrhizal type has explained a range of ecosystem
processes. However, mycorrhizal type is confounded with plant phylogeny and the …

Predicting the ecological consequences of shifting forest composition requires an
understanding of how tree species alter the soils beneath them. However, given the huge …

The presence of living roots can markedly change soil properties, microbial activities, and
biogeochemical cycling in the rhizosphere compared to bulk soil. Such rhizosphere effect …

Soil respiration is the dominant pathway by which terrestrial carbon enters the atmosphere.
Many abiotic and biotic processes can influence soil respiration, including soil microbial …

Purpose Mycorrhizal fungi are critical for the growth and survival of trees although the
knowledge on the extent of their association with different tree species in the boreal forest …

Plants compete for nutrients using a range of strategies. We investigated nutrient foraging
within nutrient hot‐spots simultaneously available to plant species with diverse root traits …

Even though the two dominant mycorrhizal associations of temperate tree species
differentially couple carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles in temperate forests, systematic …

Forests in the northeastern US are experiencing shifts in community composition due to the
northward migration of warm-adapted tree species and certain species' declines (for …

Most arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi exhibit global distributions but have been studied mostly
in a specific region of the globe, mainly covering temperate and boreal habitats, where …

The identification of plant functional traits that can be linked to ecosystem processes is of
wide interest, especially for predicting vegetational responses to climate change. Root …
