Soil organic carbon (SOC) is pivotal for both agricultural activities and climate change
mitigation, and biochar stands as a promising tool for bolstering SOC and curtailing soil …

Grasslands are integral to maintaining biodiversity and key ecosystem services and are
under threat from climate change. Plant and soil microbial diversity, and their interactions …

The relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning has mainly focused on
plant communities, with comparably little known about soil microbial‐driven ecosystem …

Dead trees are vital structural elements in forests playing key roles in the carbon and
nutrient cycle. Stem traits and fungal community composition are both important drivers of …

Fiber film have received widespread attention due to its green friendliness. We can use
microorganisms to degrade lignin in straw to obtain cellulose and make fiber films. Herein, a …

Saprotrophic fungi that cause brown rot of woody biomass evolved a distinctive mechanism
that relies on reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kick-start lignocellulosic polymers' …

Mycena ss is a ubiquitous mushroom genus whose members degrade multiple dead plant
substrates and opportunistically invade living plant roots. Having sequenced the nuclear …

The long-term protection of bamboo against mold fungi remains a challenge in anti-mold
technology, primarily due to the abundance of nutrients within bamboo cell lumens and the …

Trees form symbioses with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, maintained in part through mutual
benefit to both organisms. Our understanding of the signaling events leading to the …

We studied the diversity, composition, and long-term dynamics of wood-inhabiting fungi in
Quercus robur stumps left after commercial tree harvesting in Lithuania. Sampling of wood …
