Plant roots release recent photosynthates into the rhizosphere, accelerating decomposition of organic matter by saprotrophic soil microbes (“rhizosphere priming effect”) which consequently increases nutrient availability for plants. However, about 90% of

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Despite gaining significant attention in recent years, it remains unclear whether mycorrhizal fungi distribute meaningful amounts of resources among trees in ways that increase the fitness of the receiving trees. To investigate this, we used pairs of shaded and unshaded

Nitrogen deposition and ectomycorrhizas [PDF]
As a result of increasing anthropogenic nitrogen deposition, N availability in many forest ecosystems, which are normally N‐limited, has been enhanced. We discuss the impacts of this increased N availability on the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis which is generally regarded as an adaptation to nutrient limited conditions.

Ectomycorrhizas and tipping points in forest ecosystems
SummaryThe resilience of forests is compromised by human‐induced environmental influences pushing them towards tipping points and resulting in major shifts in ecosystem state that might be difficult to reverse, are difficult to predict and manage, and can have vast ecological, economic and social consequences. The literature on tipping points has grown

Biogeographic patterns in ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal communities and their drivers have been elucidated, including effects of host tree species and abiotic (climatic and edaphic) conditions.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The underlying processes of plant‐microbe associations particularly their interactions with their mycorrhizal fungal partners have been extensively studied. However, considerably less is known about the consequences of tree‐tree interactions on rooting zone soil ...

Possibilities of production of seedlings for truffle cultivation (Tuber spp.)
Ectomoycorhizal symbiosis between mushrooms and perennial plants is naturally present in almost all land ecosystems. Ectomycorhizal community perennial plants provide organic nutrients for fungus nutrition, and in return acquires an increased absorption ...

Ecology of Alpine Macrofungi - Combining Historical with Recent Data
Historical datasets of living communities are important because they can be used to document creeping shifts in species compositions. Such a historical data set exists for alpine fungi.

A first herbivore attack primes direct and indirect defences of newly formed oak leaves and, the specific display of defence priming is regulated by rhythmic growth, and modulated by the interaction with the ectomycorrhizal fungus Piloderma croceum. Therefore, the priming memory in oaks can be transmitted to the next growth cycle. GC, growth cycle; SF,
