securing food production. Despite an alarming rate of global plant diversity loss …

Soil microorganisms are key to biological diversity and many ecosystem processes in
terrestrial ecosystems. Despite the current alarming loss of plant diversity, it is unclear how …

Drought-sensitive European beech forests are increasingly challenged by climate change.
Admixing other, preferably more deep-rooting, tree species has been proposed to increase …

Accurate prediction of soil nitrogen (N) mineralization in agricultural soils is of major concern
because uncertainty in making fertilizer N recommendations can lead to economic losses …

Forest floor horizons contain significant total P stocks, but information on the contribution of
microbial biomass P (P MB) and on the controlling factors of this pool is limited. Slightly …

The uptake of carbon dioxide (CO 2) from the atmosphere through photosynthesis is
accompanied by an inevitable loss of water vapor through the stomata of leaves. The rate of …

Aims and methods The effects of changing climate on ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fine roots were
studied in northern Sweden by manipulating soil temperature for 14 years and/or by …
