Plant roots associate with diverse microbes (including bacteria, fungi, archaea, protists, and
viruses) collectively called the root-associated microbiome. Among them, mycorrhizal fungi …

The current water crisis necessitates the development of new materials for wastewater
treatment. A variety of nanomaterials are continuously being investigated for their potential …

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

The leaf economics spectrum (LES) provides a useful framework for examining species
strategies as shaped by their evolutionary history. However, that spectrum, as originally …

To elucidate the genetic bases of mycorrhizal lifestyle evolution, we sequenced new fungal
genomes, including 13 ectomycorrhizal (ECM), orchid (ORM) and ericoid (ERM) species …

Associations between soil minerals and microbially derived organic matter (often referred to
as mineral‐associated organic matter or MAOM) form a large pool of slowly cycling carbon …

Although hypothesized for many years, the involvement of ectomycorrhizal fungi in
decomposition of soil organic matter remains controversial and has not yet been fully …

Boreal forest soils store a major proportion of the global terrestrial carbon (C) and below‐
ground inputs contribute as much as above‐ground plant litter to the total C stored in the …

Fungi contribute extensively to a wide range of ecosystem processes, including
decomposition of organic carbon, deposition of recalcitrant carbon, and transformations of …

Global fire regimes are shifting due to climate and land use changes. Understanding the
responses of belowground communities to fire is key to predicting changes in the ecosystem …
