Revisiting mycorrhizal dogmas: are mycorrhizas really functioning as they are widely believed to do?
Since the discovery of mycorrhizas, dogmas have been developed regarding their function,
ecology, and distribution. We explore if these dogmas are valid, and if there are research …

National digital soil map of organic matter in topsoil and its associated uncertainty in 1980's China
Accurate digital soil maps of soil organic matter (SOM) are needed to evaluate soil fertility, to
estimate stocks, and for ecological and environment modeling. We used 5982 soil profiles …
