Plant roots release recent photosynthates into the rhizosphere, accelerating decomposition
of organic matter by saprotrophic soil microbes (“rhizosphere priming effect”) which …

Plantations of willow (Salix spp.) are today grown as short-rotation coppice (SRC) for the
sustainable production of biomass. While developing these production systems in the past …

Plant roots and their associated microbial symbionts impact carbon (C) and nutrient cycling
in ecosystems, but estimates of the relative contributions of root‐versus microbe‐derived …

Soil fungi play a crucial role in ecosystem functioning and there is increasing evidence that
exotic plants invading forests can affect soil fungal communities. We examined potential …

Abstract Soil warming (0–5.5° C above controls) effects on ectomycorrhizal growth, carbon
sequestration and community composition were examined in a Picea sitchensis forest …

Research Highlights: Extraradical mycorrhizal fungal mycelium (MFM) plays critical roles in
