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 …

Biomass allocation in plants is fundamental for understanding and predicting terrestrial
carbon storage. Yet, our knowledge regarding warming effects on root: shoot ratio (R/S) …

Fungi are key players in vital ecosystem services, spanning carbon cycling, decomposition,
symbiotic associations with cultivated and wild plants and pathogenicity. The high …

Climate change is altering the interactions among plants and soil organisms in ways that will
alter the structure and function of ecosystems. We reviewed the literature and developed a …

Climate warming is predicted to affect temperate forests severely, but the response of fine
roots, key to plant nutrition, water uptake, soil carbon, and nutrient cycling is unclear …

The interaction networks formed by ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) and their tree hosts, which
are important to both forest recruitment and ecosystem carbon and nutrient retention, may be …

Soil microclimate is a potentially important regulator of the composition of plant‐associated
fungal communities in climates with significant drought periods. Here, we investigated the …

Soil fungi play indispensable roles in all ecosystems including the recycling of organic
matter and interactions with plants, both as symbionts and pathogens. Past observations …

Global climate changes have serious consequences on natural ecosystems and cause
diverse environmental abiotic stressors that negatively affect plant growth and development …

Interactions between symbiotic ectomycorrhizal (EM) and free‐living saprotrophs can result
in significant deceleration of leaf litter decomposition. While this phenomenon is widely …
