This review reveals that crop residues of common cultivated crops are an important resource
not only as a source of significant quantities of nutrients for crop production but also affecting …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi are symbiotically associated microorganisms which ecological
importance has been repeatedly demonstrated. There has been a considerable amount of …

The release of organic substances from roots is a key process influencing nutrient
availability in the rhizosphere. Rhizodeposition, including root exudation can influence plant …

This new edition of Fungi in Ecosystem Processes continues the unique approach of
examining the roles of fungi from the perspective of ecosystem functions. It explores how …

As a result of increasing anthropogenic nitrogen deposition, N availability in many forest
ecosystems, which are normally N‐limited, has been enhanced. We discuss the impacts of …

Mycorrhizal fungi are involved in the uptake of nutrients in exchange for C from host plants,
and possibly in the transfer of C and nutrients between plants. Ecto-mycorrhizal fungi (EMF) …

summary Potential advantages of ammonium relative to nitrate assimilation (assuming equal
nitrogen supply in the two forms), deduced from known biochemical pathways and the site of …

The influence of litter quality on root growth, ectomycorrhizal communities and decay
processes was investigated through a litter bag experiment. Litter bags containing either …

The significance of rhizosphere microorganisms, especially mycorrhizal fungi and bacteria,
in polluted soils can be enormous, since they are able to increase the tolerance of plants …

Dry sclerophyll forest dominated by Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata Donn ex Sm.) covers
about 1.6 Mha of south-western Australia and is, relative to other eucalypt forests, low in …
