A common mycorrhizal network (CMN) is formed when mycorrhizal fungal hyphae connect
the roots of multiple plants of the same or different species belowground. Recently, CMNs …

Plant growth is usually constrained by the availability of nutrients, water, or temperature,
rather than photosynthetic carbon (C) fixation. Under these conditions leaf growth is …

Inhabiting the interface between plant roots and soil, mycorrhizal fungi play a unique but
underappreciated role in soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics. Their hyphae provide an …

Ecologists are increasingly adopting trait-based approaches to understand how community
change influences ecosystem processes. However, most of this research has focussed on …

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 …

Vegetation impacts on ecosystem functioning are mediated by mycorrhizas, plant–fungal
associations formed by most plant species. Ecosystems dominated by distinct mycorrhizal …

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …

Forestry reshapes ecosystems with respect to tree age structure, soil properties and
vegetation composition. These changes are likely to be paralleled by shifts in microbial …

Contemporary soil science and conservation methods of effective forestry Forests and the
soils that serve as their foundation cover almost a third of the world's land area. Soils …

Since their emergence onto land, terrestrial plants have developed diverse strategies to
acquire soil resources. However, we lack a framework that adequately captures how these …
