In the tropical rainforest of Amazonia, phosphorus (P) is one of the main nutrients controlling
forest dynamics, but its effects on the future of the forest biomass carbon (C) storage under …

Half a century ago in an Amazonian rainforest, Went and Stark [1, 2] observed 'endotrophic
mycorrhizal'hyphae proliferating in leaf litter adjacent to mycorrhizal roots. They inferred the …

This new edition of Fungi in Ecosystem Processes continues the unique approach of
examining the roles of fungi from the perspective of ecosystem functions. It explores how …

Extracellular enzymes produced by heterotrophic microbial communities are major drivers of
carbon and nutrient cycling in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine environments. Although …

Focusing on Sumatra, a hotspot of tropical lowland rainforest transformation, we investigated
effects of the conversion of rainforests into rubber agroforests (“jungle rubber”), intensive …

Terrestrial ecosystems have experienced rising nitrogen (N) inputs during the last decades
with consequences for belowground carbon (C) and N dynamics. This study investigates …

Forests acting as carbon storage and sequestration play an essential role in the global
nutrient cycle, in which fungi are active participants. The forests cover almost all regions from …

Tillage practice can alter the content and distribution of soil organic matter by burying crop
residue and soil disturbance, which would impact soil microbial properties. The objective of …

Paullinia cupana is associated with a diverse community of pathogenic and endophytic
microorganisms. We isolated and identified endophytic fungal communities from the roots …

La Amazonia colombiana es una fuente de diversidad que se ha visto afectada por cultivos
comerciales insostenibles que afectan la actividad de la microbiota del suelo y, por ende, el …
