Tree diversity drives forest stand resistance to natural disturbances
Purpose of review Forests are frequently exposed to natural disturbances, which are likely to
increase with global change, and may jeopardize the delivery of ecosystem services. Mixed …

Mycorrhizal ecology and evolution: the past, the present, and the future
Almost all land plants form symbiotic associations with mycorrhizal fungi. These below‐
ground fungi play a key role in terrestrial ecosystems as they regulate nutrient and carbon …

Ecology of the forest microbiome: highlights of temperate and boreal ecosystems
Due to land use history, most of the current temperate and boreal forests are developed on
nutrient-poor and rocky soils, keeping fertile soils for agriculture. Consequently, the …

Metatranscriptomics sheds light on the links between the functional traits of fungal guilds and ecological processes in forest soil ecosystems
Soil fungi belonging to different functional guilds, such as saprotrophs, pathogens, and
mycorrhizal symbionts, play key roles in forest ecosystems. To date, no study has compared …

Functional assays and metagenomic analyses reveals differences between the microbial communities inhabiting the soil horizons of a Norway spruce plantation
In temperate ecosystems, acidic forest soils are among the most nutrient-poor terrestrial
environments. In this context, the long-term differentiation of the forest soils into horizons …
