Feedbacks between plants and soil microbes form a keystone to terrestrial community and
ecosystem dynamics. Recent advances in dissecting the spatial and temporal dynamics of …

Soil fertility determines whether ectomycorrhizal fungi accelerate or decelerate decomposition
in a temperate forest - PMC Back to Top Skip to main content NIH NLM Logo Access keys …

Mixed forest stands tend to be more resistant to drought than species-specific stands
partially due to complementarity in root ecology and physiology. We asked whether …

Abstract Background Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) continuous cropping causes the
decrease of tuber yield, deterioration of quality and soil degradation in the semi-arid area …

Introduction Trees interact with fungi in mutualistic, saprotrophic, and pathogenic
relationships. With their extensive aboveground and belowground structures, trees provide …

The study aimed to investigate the temporal changes of pH, sorption complex, and structure
of soil organic matter through the forest soil profile under beech and spruce forests located …

Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are dangerous parasites of many crops
worldwide. The threat of chemical nematicides has led to increasing interest in studying the …

In this study, we investigated the bacterial and fungal microbiomes of the ant Formica
exsecta (Hymenoptera, Formicidae), and assessed whether the microbial communities …

The functioning of forest ecosystems depends on the taxonomic and ecological diversity of
soil fungi. Urbanization is increasing worldwide and is regarded as a key driver of …

Microorganisms inhabit the entire soil profile and play important roles in nutrient cycling and
soil formation. Recent studies have found that soil bacterial diversity and composition differ …
