It is well known that beneficial plant-associated microorganisms may stimulate plant growth
and enhance resistance to disease and abiotic stresses. The effects of climate change …

Drought as an intermittent disturbance of the water cycle interacts with the carbon cycle
differently than the 'gradual'climate change. During drought plants respond physiologically …

The impact on nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) cycles of human activity is a growing
concern and has several causes and consequences (MacDonald et al., 2011; Peñuelas et …

There is plenty of evidence for improved nutrient acquisition by ectomycorrhizas in trees;
however, their role in water uptake is much less clear. In addition to experiments showing …

Aim Most vascular plants on E arth form mycorrhizae, a symbiotic relationship between
plants and fungi. Despite the broad recognition of the importance of mycorrhizae for global …

A significant fraction of carbon stored in the Earth's soil moves through arbuscular
mycorrhiza (AM) and ectomycorrhiza (EM). The impacts of AM and EM on the soil carbon …

The contribution from foliage, roots, and fungi to soil organic matter (SOM) represents a key
unknown in SOM dynamics. Since stable hydrogen isotope ratios (δ 2 H n) can greatly differ …

Symbiotic mycorrhizal fungi play an important role in the absorption of soil nutrients and
water by most plants. It has been suggested that hydraulically lifted water might maintain the …

Established plants may facilitate the regeneration of closely related seedlings if they
increase populations of mutualistic symbionts that would otherwise be limiting. In this study …

Changes in above‐and below‐ground ectomycorrhizal species composition are reported
following nitrogen addition for 2 yr to a subalpine spruce (Picea abies) stand.• The …
