Direct nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon exchanges between Mucoromycotina 'fine root endophyte' fungi and a flowering plant in novel monoxenic cultures. [PDF]
New Phytol, 2023 Summary Most plants form mycorrhizal associations with mutualistic soil fungi. Through these partnerships, resources are exchanged including photosynthetically fixed carbon for fungal‐acquired nutrients. Recently, it was shown that the diversity of associated fungi is greater than previously assumed, extending to Mucoromycotina fungi.

Atmospheric pollution, soil nutrients and climate effects on Mucoromycota arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol, 2022 Summary Fine root endophyte mycorrhizal fungi in the Endogonales (Mucoromycota arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, M‐AMF) are now recognized as at least as important globally as Glomeromycota AMF (G‐AMF), yet little is known about the environmental factors which influence M‐AMF diversity and colonization, partly because they typically only co‐colonize plants

The potential role of Mucoromycotina 'fine root endophytes' in plant nitrogen nutrition. [PDF]
Physiol Plant, 2022 Abstract Mycorrhizal associations between fungi and plant roots have globally significant impacts on nutrient cycling. Mucoromycotina ‘fine root endophytes’ (MFRE) are a distinct and recently characterised group of mycorrhiza‐forming fungi that associate with the roots of a range of host plant species.

Scrub encroachment promotes biodiversity in temperate European wetlands under eutrophic conditions. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 We examine the effects of encroachment on biodiversity along gradients of soil moisture and soil fertility in open and wooded wetlands in Denmark. Our results support existing knowledge of the importance of nutrient poor, wet mires and meadows for rare species but on former arable lands where restoration of infertile habitats is less feasible we ...

Techniques for locating and analyzing subterranean Lycopodium and Diphasiastrum gametophytes in the field. [PDF]
Appl Plant Sci, 2022 Abstract Homosporous club mosses have an archaic life cycle, alternating two locationally, nutritionally, and physiologically independent generations. The sexual generation of club mosses—the gametophytes (or prothallia)—are among the least researched botanical subjects.

Changes in vegetation structure and composition of a lowland mire over a sixty-five-year interval. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 We assessed the long‐term change in the spatial structure and composition of a lowland mire community, by resurveying plots originally created in 1951. Results indicate that substantial change has occurred in the composition of the community, and the distribution of species within it.

The "hidden diversity" of medicinal plants in northeastern Brazil: diagnosis and prospects for conservation and biological prospecting. [PDF]
Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2013 Increases in ethnobotanical studies and knowledge in recent decades have led to a greater and more accurate interpretation of the overall patterns related to the use of medicinal plants, allowing for a clear identification of some ecological and cultural phenomena.

The medicinal potential of bioactive metabolites from endophytic fungi in plants
eFood, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2022., 2022 The deeply reciprocity of endophytic fungi and plants. Abstract Endophytic fungi microbiomes are a special group, living in various tissues of plants such as roots, stems, and leaves. They can be isolated from strictly sterilized interior surface of host plant tissues on culture medium.

Climate change aggravates bog species extinctions in the Black Forest (Germany)
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 282-295, February 2021., 2021 Abstract Aim Bogs and transition mires in Central Europe have undergone tremendous changes in the last decades, declining in spatial extent and favourable conservation status. However, species extinctions have been documented only rarely because of a lack of reliable floristic data.
