Growth of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi on Inorganic and Organic Nitrogen Sources

Microbiology Research
In forest soils, nitrogen (N) is present in inorganic and organic forms. The organic forms include monomeric amino acids, but also polymers such as chitin. Ectomycorrhizal fungi are known to take up both inorganic and organic N forms, and to depolymerize

Nitrogen dynamics 35 years after stand‐replacing fire: Aboveground pools grow as surface soil pools remain unchanged

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Natural disturbances induce variable recovery pathways, and long‐term studies are key to understanding how that variability affects ecosystem function over time and across space. In subalpine forests, high‐severity wildfires produce high variability in postfire tree density, but how this variability relates to nitrogen (N) cycling remains ...

Amplicon Characterization of Fungal Diversity and Functional Prediction of Glycine max L. Rhizosphere Microbiome Under Different Organic Fertilization

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
The rhizosphere microbiome is important for soil health and plant productivity, with fungi primarily acting as drivers of soil ecosystem functions. The profiling of community composition across treatments with whole‐amplicon sequencing of the fungal ITS region was conducted. Organic fertilizers enrich beneficial fungi, enhancing ecosystem functions and

Inoculant Production of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi by Solid and Submerged Fermentations

Food Technology and Biotechnology, 2007
Ectomycorrhizal fungi are very important for forestry practices. In order to develop controlled mycorrhization practices it is necessary to isolate and select ectomycorrhizal fungi that are able to colonize the intended plant species and that are ...

Linking hierarchical assembly rules and diversity patterns of soil fungi in primary succession

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Ecological succession affects natural communities in numerous ways, including deterministic (e.g. environmental filtering and biotic interactions) and stochastic processes (e.g. ecological drift and homogeneous dispersal). These processes may act across different spatial scales to set local communities, including environmental drivers characterizing ...

Impact of harvest intensity on ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungal communities in forest soils

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3146-3160, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Low‐intensity tree harvesting has been proposed as a sustainable forest management practice to balance and preserve forest productivity, carbon storage and resilience to climate extremes. Soil fungi play a central role in driving tree performance and soil carbon storage,

Ectomycorrhizal Fungi as Biofertilizers in Forestry

, 2023
Ectomycorrhiza (ECM) is an association of fungi with the roots of higher plants in which both the species are equally benefited and appears to be important for the survival of both parties, and no doubt this association offered extensive benefits in the restoration of forest and ecosystem soil aggregation and stabilization. The most important and vital

Ectomycorrhizal communities underlie trade‐offs between greater long‐term tree growth and reduced soil carbon concentrations in boreal forests

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study demonstrates that specific ectomycorrhizal fungal taxa are associated with trade‐offs between greater tree growth and reduced soil carbon concentrations in boreal forests. This work presents field‐based evidence consistent with the emerging understanding that ectomycorrhizal fungi influence ecosystem carbon stocks through the enzymatic ...

Diversity of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi Associated with Eucalyptus in Africa and Madagascar

International Journal of Forestry Research, 2012
Use of the Australian genus Eucalyptus in short rotation plantations in Africa and Madagascar has developed over the last century to such an extent that it is becoming the most frequently planted genus in Africa.

Multifactorial diagnosis of drought‐induced decline in Mediterranean conifer forests

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 10, October 2026.
A multi‐proxy approach integrating radial growth, leaf morphology, stable isotopes, elemental composition and soil properties revealed interacting mechanisms underlying drought‐induced dieback in Mediterranean pine populations. Declining trees showed stronger drought impacts on growth, altered stomatal regulation, nutrient imbalances and accelerated ...
