Ectomycorrhizas and water relations of trees: a review
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 …

Environmental drivers of ectomycorrhizal communities in Europe's temperate oak forests
Ectomycorrhizal fungi are major ecological players in temperate forests, but they are rarely

Adaptive root foraging strategies along a boreal–temperate forest gradient
The tree root–mycorhizosphere plays a key role in resource uptake, but also in the
adaptation of forests to changing environments. The adaptive foraging mechanisms of …

Extramatrical mycelia of ectomycorrhizal fungi as moderators of carbon dynamics in forest soil
JWG Cairney - Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2012 - Elsevier
Extramatrical mycelia (EMM) of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are potentially extensive in soil
and receive significant allocations of plant-derived carbon. Although losses from living EMM …

Dynamics of initial carbon allocation after drought release in mature Norway spruce—Increased belowground allocation of current photoassimilates covers only half of …
After drought events, tree recovery depends on sufficient carbon (C) allocation to the sink
organs. The present study aimed to elucidate dynamics of tree‐level C sink activity and …

Soil organic matter quality as a link between microbial community structure and vegetation composition along a successional gradient in a boreal forest
In this study we hypothesized that a change in the composition of vegetation communities is
closely linked to a concurrent change in the structure of microbial communities through the …
