Macroecological rules have been developed for plants and animals that describe large-
scale distributional patterns and attempt to explain the underlying physiological and …

Fungi have successfully established themselves across seemingly every possible niche,
substrate, and biome. They are fundamental to biogeochemical cycling, interspecies …

Fungi are highly important biotic components of terrestrial ecosystems, but we still have a
very limited understanding about their diversity and distribution. This data article releases a …

Root traits respond to drought in a species-specific manner, but little is known about how soil
fungal communities and root traits respond to drought in concert. In a glasshouse …

Fungi produce a wide variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which play central roles
in the initiation and regulation of fungal interactions. Here we introduce a global overview of …

Fine roots, and their functional traits, influence associated rhizosphere microorganisms via
root exudation and root litter quality. However, little information is known about their …

Approximately 10% of vascular plants are epiphytes and, even though this has long been
ignored in past research, are able to interact with a variety of fungi, including mycorrhizal …

The belowground world is one of the final frontiers in terrestrial ecology. The tangling of
plant roots with the surrounding soil below is a lifeline for the humble forbs and towering …

Plant‐associated fungi can ameliorate abiotic stress in their hosts, and changes in these
fungal communities can alter plant productivity, species interactions, community structure …

Animal gut mycobiota, the community of fungi that reside within the gastrointestinal tract,
make an important contribution to host health. Accordingly, there is an emerging interest to …
