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 …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are asexual, obligately symbiotic fungi with unique morphology
and genomic structure, which occupy a dual niche, that is, the soil and the host root …

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 …

Soil microbes play a key role in controlling ecosystem functions and providing ecosystem
services. Yet, microbial communities in urban green space soils remain poorly …

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

Distance decay, the general reduction in similarity of community composition with increasing
geographical distance, is known as predictor of spatial variation and distribution patterns of …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play an important role in facilitating ecosystem function
and stability. Yet, their community response patterns and ecological assembly processes …

Wildfire severity in forests is projected to increase with warming and drying conditions
associated with climate change. Our objective was to determine the impact of wildfire and …

The production of tree seedlings in forest nurseries and their use in the replanting of clear-
cut forest sites is a common practice in the temperate and boreal forests of Europe. Although …

The results show the morphological analyses and spectroscopic studies of snow and glacier
algae and their parasitic fungi in Svalbard (High Arctic). Fixed algal cells of two species …
