The ecology of forest soils is an important field of research due to the role of forests as
carbon sinks. Consequently, a significant amount of information has been accumulated …

Soil is one of the major habitats of bacteria and fungi. In this arena their interactions are part
of a communication network that keeps microhabitats in balance. Prominent mediator …

Experiments suggest that biomass-derived black carbon (biochar) affects microbial
populations and soil biogeochemistry. Both biochar and mycorrhizal associations …

In natural conditions, mycorrhizal fungi are surrounded by complex microbial communities,
which modulate the mycorrhizal symbiosis. Here, the focus is on the so‐called 'mycorrhiza …

Lichens are the symbiotic phenotype of nutritionally specialized fungi, ecologically obligate
biotrophs which acquire fixed carbon from a population of minute photobiont cells …

Sustainable agriculture involves designing a farm system employing nature as a model. In
most natural ecosystems, the greater the diversity, the more resistant an ecosystem is to …

Symbiotic ectomycorrhizal tree roots represent an important niche for interaction with
bacteria since the fungi colonizing them have a large surface area and receive a direct …

Developing the production of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) mushrooms in forest has become a
challenge. Only a few ECM species are currently cultivable. Controlled mycorrhization …

The mycorrhiza helper bacterial strain Pseudomonas fluorescens BBc6R8 enhances the
establishment of Laccaria bicolor S238N ectomycorrhizae by improving the pre‐symbiotic …

Two Trichoderma isolates (T. hamatum LU592 and T. atroviride LU132) were tested for their
ability to promote the growth and health of commercially grown Pinus radiata seedlings. The …
