Distinct assembly processes and microbial communities constrain soil organic carbon formation
Soil stores more carbon (C) than all vegetation and the atmosphere combined. Soil C stocks
are broadly shaped by temperature, moisture, soil physical characteristics, vegetation, and …

Fungal community assembly in soils and roots under plant invasion and nitrogen deposition
Fungal community composition in the Anthropocene is driven by rapid changes in
environmental conditions caused by human activities. This study examines the relative …

Experimentally altered rainfall regimes and host root traits affect grassland arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities
Future climate scenarios predict changes in rainfall regimes. These changes are expected to
affect plants via effects on the expression of root traits associated with water and nutrient …

Soil disturbance and water stress interact to influence arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, rhizosphere bacteria and potential for N and C cycling in an agricultural soil
The objective of this study was to determine how soil disturbance and soil water deficit alter

Spore traits mediate disturbance effects on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community composition and mutualisms
JR Hopkins, AE Bennett - Ecology, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Trait‐based approaches in ecology are powerful tools for understanding how organisms
interact with their environment. These approaches show particular promise in disturbance …

Biogeography of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal spore traits along an aridity gradient, and responses to experimental rainfall manipulation
Spore size, colour and melanin content are hypothesised to be functional in relation to
environmental stress. Here, we studied AM fungal spores in arid environments of Australia …

Colonization status and community structure of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the coniferous tree, Cryptomeria japonica, with special reference to root orders
Aims Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are intimately associated with fine roots and are
involved in nutrient acquisition. However, little information is available on the links between …

Anthropogenic disturbance equalizes diversity levels in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities
The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is a key plant–microbe interaction in sustainable
functioning ecosystems. Increasing anthropogenic disturbance poses a threat to AM fungal …
