Tropical forests are among the most productive and vulnerable ecosystems in the planet.
Several global forestation programs are aiming to plant millions of trees in tropical regions in …

Tree species associated with different mycorrhizal fungi play a crucial role in the carbon (C)
cycling of forest ecosystems, while their effects on soil respiration (RS) and the underlying …

In tropical regions, the patterns of carbon (C) and nutrient properties among ecosystems
dominated by distinct mycorrhizal associations are unknown. We aim to reveal whether the …

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 …

Mycorrhizal fungi play a central role in plant nutrition and nutrient cycling, yet our
understanding on their effects on free‐living microbes, soil carbon (C) decomposition and …

The symbiotic associations between plant roots and mycorrhizal fungi are almost ubiquitous.
These interactions can produce a large amount of soil respiration (R s) and respond strongly …

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 …

Trees and their associated arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi
drive carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling patterns. However, the mechanisms underpinning …

While it is increasingly recognized that ectomycorrhizal (ECM) and arbuscular mycorrhizal
(AM) tree species vary in their effects on soil nitrogen (N) cycling, little is known about the …

Plants spend a high proportion of their photosynthetically fixed carbon (C) belowground to
support mycorrhizal associations in return for nutrients, but this C expenditure may decrease …
