DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3761
Abstract: Classical theory identifies resource competition as the major structuring force of biotic communities and predicts that: (i) levels of dominance and richness in communities are inversely related, (ii) narrow niches allow dense 'packing' in niche… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00572-018-0822-3
Abstract: Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal communities vary across habitat types, as well as across different land use types. Most relevant research, however, has focused on agricultural or other severely human-impacted ecosystems. Here, we compared AM fungal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.apsoil.2019.07.021
Abstract: Abstract Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, influencing many important ecosystem processes, widely occur in saline soils, and thus understanding their biogeographic patterns is of primary interest in saline ecosystem restoration. Fine roots and rhizosphere soils were… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-60106-8
Abstract: Environmental protection strategies often rely on aboveground biodiversity indicators for prioritising conservation efforts. However, substantial biodiversity exists belowground, and it remains unclear whether aboveground diversity hotspots are indicative of high soil biodiversity. Using geospatial layers… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-22917-z
Abstract: Temperate rainforest systems are being radically altered by commercial timber harvest and climate change, imposing unprecedented stress on the trees and their mycorrhizal fungal communities. We used marker gene sequencing to describe the arbuscular mycorrhizal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/lambio/ovaf070
Abstract: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate biotrophs that form a symbiotic and mutualistic relationship with most terrestrial plants, playing an important role in plant growth, nutrient acquisition, and ecosystem stability. This review synthesizes current knowledge… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2435.14706
Abstract: Mycoheterotrophs are nonâphotosynthetic plants that obtain all of their carbon requirements through parasitizing mycorrhizal fungi. They originated from the autotrophic ancestors and usually have more specific relationships with fungi than that of green plants, for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.14536
Abstract: Future climate scenarios predict changes in rainfall regimes. These changes are expected to affect plants via effects on the expression of root traits associated with water and nutrient uptake. Associated microorganisms may also respond to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.15624
Abstract: The negative effects of deforestation can potentially be ameliorated through ecological restoration. However, reforestation alone may not reassemble the same ecological communities or functions as primary forests. In part, this failure may be owed to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/aem.00349-21
Abstract: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are an integral component of rhizospheres, bridging the soil and plant systems and are highly sensitive to fertilization. However, surprisingly little is known about how the response differs between the roots and… read more here.
