The development of high‐throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies has greatly improved
our capacity to identify fungi and unveil their ecological roles across a variety of ecosystems …

Mycorrhizal fungi benefit plants by improved mineral nutrition and protection against stress,
yet information about fundamental differences among mycorrhizal types in fungi and trees …

Novel high‐throughput sequencing methods outperform earlier approaches in terms of
resolution and magnitude. They enable identification and relative quantification of …

A central challenge in ecology is to understand the relative importance of processes that
shape diversity patterns. Compared with aboveground biota, little is known about spatial …

Fungi dominate the microbial biomass of temperate forest soils and are a key driver of
ecosystem nutrient cycling. Chronic nitrogen (N) amendments frequently cause the …

Knowledge of spatiotemporal patterns in species distribution is fundamental to
understanding the ecological and evolutionary processes shaping communities. The …

Tropical forests shelter an unparalleled biological diversity. The relative influence of
environmental selection (ie, abiotic conditions, biotic interactions) and stochastic–distance …

A key component of biodiversity is the number and abundance of individuals (ie genotypes),
and yet such intraspecific diversity is rarely considered when investigating the effects of …

The tropics were long considered to have few ectomycorrhizal fungi, presumably due to a
paucity of ectomycorrhizal host plants relative to higher-latitude ecosystems. However, an …

Orchids are among the most endangered in the plant kingdom. Lack of endosperm in their
seeds renders orchids to depend on nutrients provided by orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) for …
