The potential of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to improve soil organic carbon in agricultural ecosystems: A meta‐analytical approach

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 1016-1030, April 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) in agroecosystems is a key objective for enhancing agricultural sustainability and mitigating climate change. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can increase yield and provide several other ecosystem services.

Quantifying phenotypic plasticity: A call for consistency

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The interest of evolutionary, functional and applied ecologists in the study of phenotypic plasticity has grown considerably in recent decades. From being considered irrelevant in the mid‐20th century, phenotypic plasticity is now considered ubiquitous and essential for

Heavy metal pollution enhances pathogen resistance of an invasive plant species over its native congener

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 1096-1111, April 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Many invasive plant species have demonstrated a better ability to tolerate and accumulate heavy metals than their co‐occurring native plants. Given the potential biological toxicity of heavy metals to phytopathogens, we postulated that heavy metal contamination could ...

Urbanization alters fungal functional composition in boreal ecosystems by favouring larger‐spore fungi and pathogenic fungi

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Urbanization is a major threat to biodiversity, ultimately influencing ecosystem functions. Fungi, a highly taxonomically and functionally diverse group of organisms, underpin many of these ecosystem functions from nutrient cycling to symbiotic interactions.
