In the fungal kingdom, the ectomycorrhizal (EcM) symbiosis has evolved independently in
multiple groups that are referred to as lineages. A growing number of molecular studies in …

Soil fungi are crucial microorganisms in the functioning of ecosystems. They shape the soil
properties, facilitate nutrient circulation, and assist with plant growth. However, their …

Fungi are the agents primarily responsible for the transformation of plant‐derived carbon in
terrestrial ecosystems. However, little is known of their responses to the seasonal changes …

Despite considerable research demonstrating that biodiversity increases productivity in
forests and regulates herbivory and pathogen damage, there remain gaps in our …

Biogeography of ectomycorrhizal fungi associated with alders (Alnus spp.) in relation to biotic
and abiotic variables at the glo Page 1 Biogeography of ectomycorrhizal fungi associated with …

We synthesise a series of independent but integrated studies on the functioning of a mixed
Mediterranean oak forest to demonstrate the tree–soil interactions underpinning a positive …

The ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis was historically considered restricted to the temperate
zones, but recent studies have shown the importance of this symbiosis across the tropics …

Microbial diversity is generally far higher than plant diversity, but the relationship between
microbial diversity and plant diversity remains enigmatic. To shed light on this problem, we …

As atmospheric nitrogen (N) concentrations increase, it can wreak havoc on the entire
planet, as well as the fragile ecosystems, once it exceeds the demand of ecosystems …

Recent studies have detected strong phylogenetic signals in tree–fungus associations for
diseased leaves and mycorrhizal symbioses. However, the extent of plant phylogenetic …
