An analysis of the relationships between aboveground biomass and various climatic factors in three major regions of tropical forest shows that understanding the complex interactions between climate, topography and soils is crucial to predict how climate change will affect carbon storage capacity.

Hi all, Please help out the family of Adriana Romero Olivares. Her husband, Jovani, and kids can be helped with meals over the next weeks as Adriana recovers.

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) produce mycelia with variable extension and complexity, which can be classified according to soil ‘exploration types’ (ETs). ETs have received attention as one of the few.....

These fungi boost plant growth and restore depleted ecosystems, but federal funding for a library housing them has been cut – and it may be forced to close

Phosphorus (P) limits plant productivity in high-elevation ecosystems, yet the microbial networks that mobilize P, including arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and phosphorus-cycling bacteria (PCBs), r...

Causal approaches employed at the scale of commercial agriculture are required to build high-quality evidence that climate-smart agricultural interventions result in real emissions reductions and removals. Such project-scale empirical data are additionally required to demonstrate and advance the viability of process-based models and digital measurement, reporting and verification as tools to scale soil carbon accounting.

Fungal communities in soil play important roles in decomposition processes and soil organic carbon cycling. These communities are tremendously diverse, making it challenging to assign relevant functio...

Warmer temperatures associated with climate change disrupt relationships between plants and the fungi living in their leaves and roots by reducing the abundance and diversity of these fungi—especiall...

In plant science research and modelling, particularly from the northern hemisphere, the terms ‘needle-leaved’ and ‘conifer’ along with ‘broad-leaved’ and ‘angiosperm’ are often used synonymously, cre...

Bacteriophages, bacteria, and mycorrhizal fungi are key members of plant microbiomes, yet connections among them remain unexplored. This forum article highlights the potential importance of bacterioph...

Activists say Israeli settlers beat up one of the Palestinian co-directors of the Oscar-winning film “No Other Land” in the occupied West Bank, and he was then detained by the Israeli military.

Background and aims Interactions among ectomycorrhizal (ECM) trees, fungal communities and ecosystem-scale N availability can drive carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling at the tree scale, but these mec...
