Forest microbiome: diversity, complexity and dynamics
P Baldrian - FEMS Microbiology reviews, 2017 - academic.oup.com
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 …

Influences of evergreen gymnosperm and deciduous angiosperm tree species on the functioning of temperate and boreal forests
It has been recognized for a long time that the overstorey composition of a forest partly
determines its biological and physical–chemical functioning. Here, we review evidence of …

Environment and host as large-scale controls of ectomycorrhizal fungi
Explaining the large-scale diversity of soil organisms that drive biogeochemical processes—
and their responses to environmental change—is critical. However, identifying consistent …

Complementary roles of wood-inhabiting fungi and bacteria facilitate deadwood decomposition
Forests accumulate and store large amounts of carbon (C), and a substantial fraction of this
stock is contained in deadwood. This transient pool is subject to decomposition by …

Global pattern and controls of biological nitrogen fixation under nutrient enrichment: A meta‐analysis
Biological nitrogen (N) fixation (BNF), an important source of N in terrestrial ecosystems,
plays a critical role in terrestrial nutrient cycling and net primary productivity. Currently, large …

Methanotrophy induces nitrogen fixation during peatland development
T Larmola, SM Leppänen, ES Tuittila… - Proceedings of the …, 2014 - National Acad Sciences
Nitrogen (N) accumulation rates in peatland ecosystems indicate significant biological
atmospheric N2 fixation associated with Sphagnum mosses. Here, we show that the linkage …

N2-fixation by methanotrophs sustains carbon and nitrogen accumulation in pristine peatlands
Symbiotic relationships between N 2-fixing prokaryotes and their autotrophic hosts are
essential in nitrogen (N)-limited ecosystems, yet the importance of this association in pristine …

Moss-cyanobacteria associations as biogenic sources of nitrogen in boreal forest ecosystems
The biological fixation of atmospheric nitrogen (N) is a major pathway for available N
entering ecosystems. In N-limited boreal forests, a significant amount of N2 is fixed by …

Unraveling host–microbe interactions and ecosystem functions in moss–bacteria symbioses
DO Alvarenga, K Rousk - Journal of Experimental Botany, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Mosses are non-vascular plants usually found in moist and shaded areas, with great
ecological importance in several ecosystems. This is especially true in northern latitudes …

Biotic and abiotic controls of nitrogen fixation in cyanobacteria–moss associations
K Rousk - New Phytologist, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Most mosses are colonized by nitrogen (N)‐fixing cyanobacteria. This discovery is relatively
recent, which can explain the large knowledge gaps the field is now tackling. For instance …
