In the most recent scientific reports based on the DNA or RNA-analyses a widespread
presence of the filamentous fungi, Mortierella in various environments has been shown …

BACKGROUND All vascular plants associate with fungi and bacteria—the microbiome. Root
associations with mycorrhizal fungi benefit most plants by enhancing their nutrient access …

Mycorrhizal fungi are mutualists that play crucial roles in nutrient acquisition in terrestrial
ecosystems. Mycorrhizal symbioses arose repeatedly across multiple lineages of …

The soil microbiome is highly diverse and comprises up to one quarter of Earth's diversity.
Yet, how such a diverse and functionally complex microbiome influences ecosystem …

Inhabiting the interface between plant roots and soil, mycorrhizal fungi play a unique but
underappreciated role in soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics. Their hyphae provide an …

Globally, forests represent highly productive ecosystems that act as carbon sinks where soil
organic matter is formed from residuals after biomass decomposition as well as from …

Almost all land plants form symbiotic associations with mycorrhizal fungi. These below‐
ground fungi play a key role in terrestrial ecosystems as they regulate nutrient and carbon …

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 …

Mycorrhizal fungi benefit plants by improved mineral nutrition and protection against stress,
yet information about fundamental differences among mycorrhizal types in fungi and trees …

Associations between soil minerals and microbially derived organic matter (often referred to
as mineral‐associated organic matter or MAOM) form a large pool of slowly cycling carbon …
