Ecological and genomic variation in ectomycorrhizal fungal exploration types

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) produce mycelia with variable extension and complexity, which can be classified according to soil ‘exploration types’ (ETs). ETs have received attention as one of the few mycorrhizal trait frameworks, but without an empirical classification of ET functional diversity and environmental preferences, understanding and ...

Performance of planted native seedlings in felled strips within Pinus radiata plantation forest

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Exotic plantations could facilitate native forest restoration through a managed transition utilizing partial harvest, poisoning, or natural senescence of the plantation. Objectives To explore canopy gap creation and herbivore exclusion in a Pinus radiata plantation on planted seedlings of three native tree species.

Assessing fungal–mineral interactions in soil: A review of microscale methods

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Biological weathering of minerals has profoundly transformed Earth over geologic time by driving soil formation, nutrient cycling, and long‐term biogeochemical processes. Among soil biota, fungi are increasingly recognized as key yet obscure drivers of weathering through their unique hyphal growth forms, metabolic capabilities, and symbiotic ...

Effects of Field Fumigation and Inoculation With the Pecan Truffle (Tuber lyonii) on the Fungal Community of Pecan (Carya illinoinensis) Seedlings Over 5 Years

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Truffle fungi are esteemed for their aromatic qualities and are among the most widely cultivated edible ectomycorrhizal fungi. Here we document a successful method for establishing Tuber lyonii, the pecan truffle, on pecan (Carya illinoinensis) seedlings

Conserved symbiosis‐associated genes in the cycad Encephalartos natalensis suggest co‐option for cyanobacterial symbiosis

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2168-2185, August 2026.
The heterocyst‐rich Encephalartos natalensis cyanobacterial zone in coralloid root suggests co‐option of conserved symbiosis‐associated genes. This figure was created in BioRender (BioRender.com/https://BioRender.com/n3qveqc). Summary Plant‐cyanobacterial symbioses have evolved independently at least four times across land plants, yet their underlying ...

Divergent plant and microbial community change in response to coastal salinization and sea level rise

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Diverging community responses of plants and microbes to global change have the potential to disrupt ecosystem function and resiliency. Saltwater intrusion and sea level rise (SWISLR) threaten coastal ecosystems and are associated with multiple stressors—salinization, alkalinization, and inundation.

THE DEVELOPMENT AND ULTRASTRUCTURE OF ECTOMYCORRHIZAS [PDF]

New Phytologist, 1984
SummaryThe development of ectomycorrhizas of pine was followed experimentally using either sterile peat–vermiculite with nutrient solution or natural non‐sterile field soil. Roots were harvested sequentially and comparative analyses of their ultrastructure were obtained. Hartig net formation is initiated before the formation of a compact sheath in both

Mycorrhizal symbiosis and environmental conditions shape understory herb diversity in a large temperate forest region

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1619-1631, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understorey herbaceous plants are a vital component of forest biodiversity in temperate forests. However, the mechanisms underlying their community assembly and species coexistence remain poorly understood.
