Natural processes and human activities play a crucial role in changing the nitrogen cycle
and increasing nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions, which are accelerating at an unprecedented …

Community structure and ecosystem processes often vary along elevational gradients. Their
responses to elevation are commonly driven by changes in temperature, and many …

Plant roots have greatly diversified in form and function since the emergence of the first land
plants,, but the global organization of functional traits in roots remains poorly understood …

Soil contains more carbon than the atmosphere and vegetation combined. Understanding
the mechanisms controlling the accumulation and stability of soil carbon is critical to …

Compared with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) forests, arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) forests are
hypothesized to have higher carbon (C) cycling rates and a more open nitrogen (N) cycle …

Human societies depend on an Earth system that operates within a constrained range of
nutrient availability, yet the recent trajectory of terrestrial nitrogen (N) availability is uncertain …

Mycorrhizal fungi are responsible for most nutrient uptake by the majority of land plants. As
such, mycorrhizas are increasingly recognized as important drivers of terrestrial ecosystem …

The performance of three selected bacterial strains—PR3, PR7 and PR10 (Providencia sp.,
Brevundimonas sp., Ochrobacterium sp.) and three cyanobacterial strains CR1, CR2 and …

Even though the two dominant mycorrhizal associations of temperate tree species
differentially couple carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles in temperate forests, systematic …

Roots of forest trees are colonized by a diverse spectrum of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungal
species differing in their nitrogen (N) acquisition abilities. Here, we hypothesized that root N …
