The current review investigates the hypothesis that dormant soil microorganisms are
relevant for microbial processes and community changes. Dormant soil microorganisms are …

In spite of the term 'endophyte'being employed for all organisms that inhabit plants,
mycologists have come to use the term 'fungal endophyte'for fungi that inhabit plants without …

The influence of pH on the relative importance of the two principal decomposer groups in
soil, fungi and bacteria, was investigated along a continuous soil pH gradient at Hoosfield …

The interrelations between the microbial biomass, total N, organic P, and organic S in the
accumulation of soil organic C (SOC) and the contribution of fungal and bacterial residues to …

While it is well established that plants associating with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi cycle carbon (C) and nutrients in distinct ways, we have a …

Extraradical mycelia of mycorrhizal fungi are normally the hidden half of the symbiosis, but
they are powerful underground influences upon biogeochemical cycling, the composition of …

The fungi-to-bacteria ratio in soil ecological concepts and its application to explain the
effects of land use changes have gained increasing attention over the past decade. Four …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF; phylum Glomeromycota) are ubiquitous in terrestrial
ecosystems. Despite their acknowledged importance in ecology, most research on AMF has …

Rhizosphere microorganisms have two faces, like Janus the Roman god of gates and doors
who symbolizes changes and transitions, from one condition to another. One face looks at …

Chemical taxonomy based upon the composition of lipids is widely applied to investigate
microbial communities and fatty acids have recently been employed to connect soil …
