Macrofungi are vital components of any forest ecosystem, performing different roles crucial
to ecosystem functioning. Macrofungi play effective roles in ecosystem processes such as …

This article is the 13th contribution in the Fungal Diversity Notes series, wherein 125 taxa
from four phyla, ten classes, 31 orders, 69 families, 92 genera and three genera incertae …

Symbiosis with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi is an advantageous partnership for trees in
nutrient-limited environments. Ectomycorrhizal fungi colonize the roots of their hosts and …

Since their emergence onto land, terrestrial plants have developed diverse strategies to
acquire soil resources. However, we lack a framework that adequately captures how these …

Linking community composition to ecosystem function is a challenge in complex microbial
communities. We tested the hypothesis that key biological features of fungi-evolutionary …

The tree root–mycorhizosphere plays a key role in resource uptake, but also in the
adaptation of forests to changing environments. The adaptive foraging mechanisms of …

Tree growth in boreal forests is limited by nitrogen (N) availability. Most boreal forest trees
form symbiotic associations with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, which improve the uptake of …

Carbon allocation plays a key role in ecosystem dynamics and plant adaptation to changing
environmental conditions. Hence, proper description of this process in vegetation models is …

Pathogenic and mutualistic fungi have contrasting effects on seedling establishment, but it
remains unclear whether density‐dependent survival and growth are regulated by access to …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) are involved in soil nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems.
These fungi can promote the uptake of nutrients (eg, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)) and …
