Using nearly 40 years of data from naturally-assembled plant communities, we found that while richness is important for resistance to extreme dry events, dominance is important for resistance to extr....

In the vast and complex web of terrestrial ecosystems, soil microbes play an invisible yet foundational role in sustaining plant life and, by extension, the health of the entire planet. Among these

Many soil microbes play a vital role in ecosystems, as they help plants access nutrients and water and assist in stress tolerance such as during drought and to defend against pathogens. One such group...

This study investigates an important group of soil fungi called arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, which associate with the roots of most land plants. These fungi help with plant nutrient uptake and s...
