Feedback between plants and soil microbial communities can be a powerful driver of
vegetation dynamics. Plants elicit changes in the soil microbiome that either promote or …

Fungi represent a large proportion of the genetic diversity on Earth and fungal activity
influences the structure of plant and animal communities, as well as rates of ecosystem …

ForestGEO is a network of scientists and long-term forest dynamics plots (FDPs) spanning
the Earth's major forest types. ForestGEO's mission is to advance understanding of the …

Background Revealing the relationship between plants and fungi is very important in
understanding biodiversity maintenance, community stability, and ecosystem functioning …

Whether niche processes, like environmental filtering, or neutral processes, like dispersal
limitation, are the primary forces driving community assembly is a central question in …

The mechanisms regulating community composition and local dominance of trees in species-
rich forests are poorly resolved, but the importance of interactions with soil microbes is …

Anthropogenic global change is driving an increase in the frequency and intensity of drought
and flood events, along with associated imbalances and limitation of several soil nutrients. In …

Research on mycorrhizal symbiosis has been slowed by a lack of established study
systems. To address this challenge, we have been develo** Suillus, a widespread …

Climate change will likely shift plant and microbial distributions, creating geographic
mismatches between plant hosts and essential microbial symbionts (eg, ectomycorrhizal …
