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

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 …

A significant fraction of carbon stored in the Earth's soil moves through arbuscular
mycorrhiza (AM) and ectomycorrhiza (EM). The impacts of AM and EM on the soil carbon …

Aim Most vascular plants on E arth form mycorrhizae, a symbiotic relationship between
plants and fungi. Despite the broad recognition of the importance of mycorrhizae for global …

Trees associating with different mycorrhizas often differ in their effects on litter
decomposition, nutrient cycling, soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics, and plant-soil …

Background and scope Plant communities and underlying soils undergo substantial,
coordinated shifts throughout ecosystem development. However, shifts in the composition …

Plant-fungal symbioses play critical roles in vegetation dynamics and nutrient cycling,
modulating the impacts of global changes on ecosystem functioning. Here, we used forest …

Mycorrhizal fungi are responsible for most nutrient uptake by the majority of land plants. As
such, mycorrhizas are increasingly recognized as important drivers of terrestrial ecosystem …

Extraradical mycelia of mycorrhizal fungi are normally the hidden half of the symbiosis, but
they are powerful underground influences upon biogeochemical cycling, the composition of …

Mycorrhizal fungi benefit plants by improved mineral nutrition and protection against stress,
yet information about fundamental differences among mycorrhizal types in fungi and trees …
