Connecting the dots: Network structure as a functional trait in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Soil health and sustainable land management are critical to addressing global challenges such as food security, climate resilience, and biodiversity loss. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form underground networks that enhance plant nutrient uptake and improve soil structure, yet their functional diversity remains poorly understood, limiting their ...

Incorporating soil biological and functional attributes to advance ecological restoration
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Earth is currently experiencing a mass extinction crisis, predominantly driven by anthropogenic activities, with land use change causing widespread loss and degradation of native ecosystems and indigenous species. There is an urgent need to halt this trend and restore degraded habitat to preserve biodiversity and protect threatened plants and animals ...

Preliminary Evaluation of a Dodder Anthracnose Fungus from China as a Mycoherbicide for Dodder Control in the US [PDF]
, 1989 Dodder (Cuscuta spp.) is a noxious, parasitic, annual weed throughout most of the United States. A fungus used to control it in China was imported under permit for studies with U.S. dodder species in containment.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Drought and high temperatures are expected to increase in Europe, in particular in Mediterranean regions, where black truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vittad.) is mainly harvested. This fungus, living in symbiotic ectomycorrhizal association with trees, is important in forest ecosystems and agricultural diversification.

A survey of natural parasitism of mirid bugs by parasitoids on apples and pears in Norway [PDF]
, 2008 Mirid bugs are important pests in both integrated and organic fruit production. In a survey in 2006 the proportion of mirids parasitized by parasitoids was investigated in 18 Norwegian orchards.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.This study examines how the fruits of non‐photosynthetic forest plants in the Monotropoideae (Ericaceae) have evolved into the diversity observed today. By analyzing four Asian species, we identified a shift from dry, dehiscent fruits that release seeds into the air to fleshy, berry‐like fruits adapted for animal dispersal.
