Balkan lowlands bordering with the Pannonia region are inhabited by diverse riparian forests that support production of different truffle species, predominantly the most prized white truffle of Piedmont (Tuber magnatum Pico), but also other commercial ...

Closely related species often conserve similar niches despite interacting negatively. We suggest that close relatives may interact positively via ecosystem feedbacks: leaf litter produced or exposed in a closely related neighbourhood (low phylogenetic isolation) may decompose more quickly, leading to more rapid nutrient recycling.

Monitoring and Modeling the Soil‐Plant System Toward Understanding Soil Health
Abstract The soil health assessment has evolved from focusing primarily on agricultural productivity to an integrated evaluation of soil biota and biotic processes that impact soil properties. Consequently, soil health assessment has shifted from a predominantly physicochemical approach to incorporating ecological, biological and molecular microbiology

Truffles are one group of the most famous ectomycorrhizal fungi in the world. There is little information on the ecological mechanisms of truffle ectomycorrhizal synthesis in vitro. In this study, we investigated the ecological effects of Tuber indicum –

ABSTRACT Aim The influence of mutualists on plant distributions is only beginning to be understood. Orchids depend on orchid mycorrhizal (OrM) fungi to germinate, yet the distribution of OrM fungi and how they vary according to both abiotic and biotic factors is unclear.

BIODIVERSITY ANALYSIS OF ECTOMYCORRHIZA BASED ON SLOPE IN SORONG NATURE PARK
This study aims to identify and analyze the composition and distribution of ectomycorrhizal fungi in Sorong Nature Tourism Park. The method used was field observation or direct observation divided into five plots, namely in a special block of seed ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi comprise a large proportion of the living and dead microbial‐derived soil carbon (C) pool in boreal forests. Because soil nitrogen (N) and C cycles are closely interlinked, shifts in N availability and subsequent effects on dead fungal mass (“

Effects of microarthropod density on soil fungal community composition in nutrient‐poor ecosystems
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Microarthropods such as mites (Acari) and springtails (Collembola) play a key role in the functioning of nutrient‐poor ecosystems. They contribute to the comminution of organic matter and they are likely to affect the structure and function of soil microbial communities
