It has been proposed that ectomycorrhizal fungi can reduce decomposition while arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi may enhance it. These phenomena are known as the 'Gadgil effect'and …

Terrestrial plants form primarily mutualistic symbiosis with mycorrhizal fungi based on a
compatible exchange of solutes between plant and fungal partners. A key attribute of this …

Interactions between soil nitrogen (N) availability, fungal community composition, and soil
organic matter (SOM) regulate soil carbon (C) dynamics in many forest ecosystems, but …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi are essential for nitrogen (N) cycling in many temperate forests and
responsive to anthropogenic N addition, which generally decreases host carbon (C) …

Drainage‐induced encroachment by trees may have major effects on the carbon balance of
northern peatlands, and responses of microbial communities are likely to play a central …

It has been proposed that competition between ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi and free-living
saprotrophs for resources like nitrogen (N) slows decomposition and increases the soil …

Background The cultivation of short-rotation tree species on non-forest land is increasing
due to the growing demand for woody biomass for the future bioeconomy and to mitigate …

Forest soils play a pivotal role as global carbon (C) sinks, where the dynamics of soil organic
matter (SOM) are significantly influenced by ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi. While correlations …

Ectomycorrhizal exploration types are commonly assumed to denote spatial foraging
patterns and resource‐related niches of extraradical mycelia. However, empirical evidence …

Plant functional traits offer ecologists quantifiable characteristics that may be used to
determine the underlying mechanisms and drivers of processes at scales ranging from …
