Fungi are the agents primarily responsible for the transformation of plant‐derived carbon in
terrestrial ecosystems. However, little is known of their responses to the seasonal changes …

Disturbances have altered community dynamics in boreal forests with unknown
consequences for belowground ecological processes. Soil fungi are particularly sensitive to …

Fungi are known to exert a significant influence over soil organic matter (SOM) turnover,
however understanding of the effects of fungal community structure on SOM dynamics and …

Our understanding of how saprotrophic and mycorrhizal fungi interact to re‐circulate carbon
and nutrients from plant litter and soil organic matter is limited by poor understanding of their …

Understanding the ecology of coniferous forests is very important because these
environments represent globally largest carbon sinks. Metatranscriptomics, microbial …

Soil fungi are highly diverse and act as the primary agents of nutrient cycling in forests.
These fungal communities are often dominated by mycorrhizal fungi that form mutually …

Soil abiotic factors are considered to be important in determining the distribution of
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal species; however, there are few field data to support this …

Due to the standing biomass and turnover of fungal biomass in forest topsoils,
decomposition of fungal biomass represents an important process. Within plant litter, dead …

In boreal forest soils, ectomycorrhizal fungi are fundamentally important for carbon (C)
dynamics and nutrient cycling. Although their extraradical mycelium (ERM) is pivotal for …

In temperate and boreal forests, competition for soil resources between free-living
saprotrophs and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi has been suggested to restrict saprotrophic …
