Synthesis and future research directions linking tree diversity to growth, survival, and damage in a global network of tree diversity experiments
Despite considerable research demonstrating that biodiversity increases productivity in
forests and regulates herbivory and pathogen damage, there remain gaps in our …

Host preference and network properties in biotrophic plant–fungal associations
Analytical methods can offer insights into the structure of biological networks, but
mechanisms that determine the structure of these networks remain unclear. We conducted a …

Fungal communities along a small-scale elevational gradient in an alpine tundra are determined by soil carbon nitrogen ratios
Elevational gradients are associated not only with variations in temperature and
precipitation, but also with shifts in vegetation types and changes in soil physicochemical …

Soil abiotic variables are more important than Salicaceae phylogeny or habitat specialization in determining soil microbial community structure
S Erlandson, X Wei, J Savage… - Molecular …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Predicting the outcome of interspecific interactions is a central goal in ecology. The diverse
soil microbes that interact with plants are shaped by different aspects of plant identity, such …

Organic nitrogen addition suppresses fungal richness and alters community composition in temperate forest soils
Human-driven increases in bioavailable nitrogen over the last century have revealed the
critical need to understand how nitrogen availability influences terrestrial ecosystems. In …
