Divergent rainforest tree microbiomes between phases of the monsoon cycle, host plants and tissues
Plant Biology, Volume 25, Issue 6, Page 860-870, October 2023., 2023 The composition of rainforest plant microbiomes differs between wet and dry phases of the monsoon, between plant tissue types, and between host plant species and clades. Abstract The Australian Monsoon Tropics (AMT) contain some of the most biodiverse forests on the continent.

Regional-scale in-depth analysis of soil fungal diversity reveals strong pH and plant species effects in Northern Europe [PDF]
, 2020 Soil microbiome has a pivotal role in ecosystem functioning, yet little is known about its build-up from local to regional scales. In a multi-year regional-scale survey involving 1251 plots and long-read third-generation sequencing, we found that soil pH

Restoration Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 5, July 2023., 2023 During reclamation organisms like fungi directly interact at the soil–plant interface and can potentially impact plant growth, health, and overall revegetation success. Therefore, a study was conducted to determine how topsoil amendments (mycorrhizae, biochar, compost, manure) influence root‐associated fungal communities and growth of fast growing ...

Exo‐ and endophytic fungi enable rapid transfer of nutrients from ant waste to orchid tissue
New Phytologist, Volume 238, Issue 5, Page 2210-2223, June 2023., 2023 Summary The epiphytic orchid Caularthron bilamellatum sacrifices its water storage tissue for nutrients from the waste of ants lodging inside its hollow pseudobulb. Here, we investigate whether fungi are involved in the rapid translocation of nutrients.
