Despite the growing appreciation for the functional diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)
fungi, our understanding of the causes and consequences of this diversity is still poor. In this …

Background and scope Plant communities and underlying soils undergo substantial,
coordinated shifts throughout ecosystem development. However, shifts in the composition …

This new edition of Fungi in Ecosystem Processes continues the unique approach of
examining the roles of fungi from the perspective of ecosystem functions. It explores how …

Little is known about the response of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities to
ecosystem development. We use a long‐term soil chronosequence that includes ecosystem …

An increasing number of case studies are reporting Glomeromycota molecular diversity from
ecosystems worldwide. Typically, phylogroups that can be related to morphospecies and …

Early community assembly of soil microbial communities is essential for pedogenesis and
development of organic legacies. We examined fungal and bacterial successions along a …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play an important role in ecosystems, but little is known
about how soil AM fungal community composition varies in relation to habitat type and land …

We examined whether plant‐soil feedback and plant‐field abundance were phylogenetically
conserved. For 57 co‐occurring native and exotic plant species from an old field in Canada …

Data generated from next generation sequencing (NGS) will soon comprise the majority of
information about arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) communities. Although these …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) community assembly during primary succession has so
far received little attention. It remains therefore unclear, which of the factors, driving AMF …
