Soil fungi play indispensable roles in all ecosystems including the recycling of organic
matter and interactions with plants, both as symbionts and pathogens. Past observations …

ABSTRACT A large part of ecosystem function in woodland systems depends on soil fungal
communities. However, global climate change has the potential to fundamentally alter these …

Large-scale environmental sequencing efforts have transformed our understanding of the
spatial controls over soil microbial community composition and turnover. Yet, our knowledge …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are amongst the most common and functionally important
symbionts of terrestrial plants and are highly likely to be affected by global change. The …

Understanding how fungal communities are affected by precipitation is an essential aspect
of predicting soil functional responses to future climate change and the consequences of …

Cryptic belowground organisms are difficult to observe and their responses to global
changes are not well understood. Nevertheless, there is reason to believe that interactions …

Plant–soil biota interactions play a crucial role in the assembly of plant communities and the
maintenance of plant species diversity. However, few studies have tested how the effect of …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi have a major influence on the structure, responses and
below‐ground C allocation of plant communities. Our lack of understanding of the response …

Although disturbance is thought to be important in many ecological processes, responses of
fungal communities to soil disturbance have been little studied experimentally. We subjected …

Fungal community composition in the Anthropocene is driven by rapid changes in
environmental conditions caused by human activities. This study examines the relative …
