The interiors of plants are colonized by diverse microorganisms that are referred to as
endophytes. Endophytes have received much attention over the past few decades, yet many …

Fires occur in most terrestrial ecosystems where they drive changes in the traits,
composition, and diversity of fungal communities. Fires range from rare, stand-replacing …

Plant-soil feedbacks are shaped by microbial legacies that plants leave in the soil. We tested
the persistence of these legacies after subsequent colonization by the same or other plant …

The rhizospheric microbiome is clearly affected by plant species and certain of their
functional traits. These functional traits allow plants to adapt to their environmental …

Symbiotic organisms may contribute to a host plant's success or failure to grow, its ability to
maintain viable populations, and potentially, its probability of establishment and spread …

Ericoid mycorrhiza occur only within the plant family Ericaceae, yet are globally widespread
and contribute to carbon and nutrient cycling in many habitats where harsh conditions limit …

The core principle shared by most theories and models of succession is that, following a
major disturbance, plant–environment feedback dynamics drive a directional change in the …

The tremendous potential of the plant microbiome to improve plant growth and production
means that microbes are in the process of becoming an everyday tool in agronomic …

Background Invasive plant species pose a global threat because they alter ecosystem
functioning and biodiversity. The majority of plants form mutualistic mycorrhizal associations …

The mycobiome (fungal microbiome) influences plants—from seed germination to full
maturation. While many studies on fungal‐plant interaction studies have focused on known …
