The symbiotic interaction between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is often
perceived as beneficial for both partners, though a large ecological literature highlights the …

The development of high‐throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies has greatly improved
our capacity to identify fungi and unveil their ecological roles across a variety of ecosystems …

The cryptic lifestyle of most fungi necessitates molecular identification of the guild in
environmental studies. Over the past decades, rapid development and affordability of …

Species traits are an essential currency in ecology, evolution, biogeography, and
conservation biology. However, trait databases are unavailable for most organisms …

Fungi form a major and diverse component of most ecosystems on Earth. They are both
micro and macroorganisms with high and varying functional diversity as well as great …

Deciphering microbiota functions is crucial to predict ecosystem sustainability in response to
global change. High-throughput sequencing at the individual or community level has …

Traits are inherent properties of organisms, but how are they defined for organismal
networks such as mycorrhizal symbioses? Mycorrhizal symbioses are complex and diverse …

Fungi are highly important biotic components of terrestrial ecosystems, but we still have a
very limited understanding about their diversity and distribution. This data article releases a …

Soils are hotspots of diversity and sustain many globally important functions. Here we focus
on the most burning issue: how to keep soils as carbon sinks while maintaining their …

Interactions between plants and microbes have important influences on evolutionary
processes, population dynamics, community structure, and ecosystem function. We review …
