Mean annual temperature influences local fine root proliferation and arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization in a tropical wet forest

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6561
Abstract: Abstract Mean annual temperature (MAT) is an influential climate factor affecting the bioavailability of growth‐limiting nutrients nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). In tropical montane wet forests, warmer MAT drives higher N bioavailability, while patterns of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1640
Abstract: The soil carbon dynamics of southern hemisphere temperate rainforests have rarely been studied. Here, we report for the first time soil CO2 effluxes and their partitioning for medium-age and old-growth Fitzroya cupressoides forests growing under… read more here.

Fine root endophytes under scrutiny: a review of the literature on arbuscule-producing fungi recently suggested to belong to the Mucoromycotina

DOI: 10.1007/s00572-017-0782-z
Abstract: Fine root endophytes (FRE) are arbuscule-forming fungi presently considered as a single species—Glomus tenue in the Glomeromycota (Glomeromycotina)—but probably belong within the Mucoromycotina. Thus, FRE are the only known arbuscule-forming fungi not within the arbuscular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-018-0280-y
Abstract: Global warming is predicted to impact high-latitude and high-altitude forests severely, jeopardizing their overall functioning and carbon storage, both of which depend on the warming response of tree fine root systems. This paper investigates the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10342-019-01211-4
Abstract: Nitrogen (N) plays a vital role in litter decomposition by interacting with microbial activity in temperate and boreal ecosystems. However, in tropical and subtropical forests, where low soil phosphorus (P) availability is widespread, how P… read more here.
