Rooting for function: community‐level fine‐root traits relate to many ecosystem functions
Summary Humans are driving biodiversity change, which also alters community functional traits. However, how changes in the functional traits of the community alter ecosystem functions—especially belowground—remains an important gap in our understanding of the consequences of biodiversity change.

The roots of Salix spp. can be colonized by two types of mycorrhizal fungi (ectomycorrhizal and arbuscular) and furthermore by dark-septate endophytes. The fungal root colonization is affected by the plant genotype, soil properties and their interactions.

Summary Ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECM) can influence soil carbon (C) accrual and loss. The mechanisms and environmental controls of this balance are unclear, and direct evidence is needed. We assessed the influence of atmospheric CO2 and inorganic nitrogen (N) on the impact of two ECM fungi on the cycling of native and new soil C. We inoculated Eucalyptus

Summary A key feature of extant conifer forests is the high percentage of seeds that germinate and establish on dead wood; in some forests, this can exceed 90%. This deadwood can act as an ideal nursery for young tree species, leading to this type of seedbed being termed ‘nurse logs’.

Successional changes in mycorrhizal type in the pioneer plant communities of a subalpine volcanic desert on Mt. Fuji, Japan [PDF]
Isolated island-like plant communities dominated by the perennial herb Polygonum cuspidatum are typical pioneer vegetation in the subalpine volcanic deserts of Japan.

Diversity and evolution of ABC proteins in mycorrhiza-forming fungi [PDF]
Background: Transporter proteins are predicted to have an important role in the mycorrhizal symbiosis, due to the fact that this type of an interaction between plants and fungi requires a continuous nutrient and signalling exchange.

ABSTRACT Root exudation provides a constant carbon input to the rhizosphere and is therefore a very important factor in shaping this hotspot of biological activity. Nonetheless, data on root exudation and its spatio‐temporal plasticity are scarce. This study provides insights into compound‐specific root exudation in three temperate tree species in two ...

Analysing the relationship between ectomycorrhizal infection and forest decline using marginal models [PDF]
This statistical survey originates from the problem of discovering which relationship exists between root ectomycorrhizal infection and health status of forest plants.
