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 …

Experiences worldwide reveal that degraded lands restoration projects achieve little
success or fail. Hence, understanding the underlying causes and accordingly, devising …

For decades, conservation and research initiatives in tropical forests have focused almost
exclusively on old-growth forests because scientists believed that these “pristine” …

Globally, forests cover nearly one third of the land area and they contain over 80% of
terrestrial biodiversity. Both the extent and quality of forest habitat continue to decrease and …

Climate change is altering the interactions among plants and soil organisms in ways that will
alter the structure and function of ecosystems. We reviewed the literature and developed a …

Inoculation may influence mycorrhizal colonization and provide benefits to plants in
restoration projects. However, it is unclear whether inoculation has consistent effects across …

Though seasonally dry tropical forests are equally as important to global biodiversity as
tropical rainforests, and are one of the most representative and highly endangered …

Elucidating the temporal dynamics of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is critical for
understanding their functions. Furthermore, research investigating the temporal dynamics of …

Prescribed burning has primarily been used as a tool for the control of invasive late-season
annual broadleaf and grass species, particularly yellow starthistle, medusahead, barb …

Seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF) are characterized by pronounced seasonality in
rainfall, and as a result trees in these forests must endure seasonal variation in soil water …
