ABSTRACT Microbes play central roles in soil nutrient cycling, yet a limited range of microbial community characteristics have been used to explain ecosystem cycling rates and their importance relative plant abiotic factors remains unclear. In this study, we assessed which 126 commonly measured fungal bacterial best explained nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) temperate forests the Northeastern U.S., as well contributions microbial, plant, factors. Using boosted regression tree modeling, identified variables with highest models explaining rates: abundances ectomycorrhizal fungi N-decomposition genes from oligotrophic bacteria were most important for net ammonification, indicator taxa networks, nitrifying bacteria, copiotrophic nitrification, abundance P-cycling oxidoreductase was phosphate change. Microbial more variation than multivariate linear nitrification release rates, but not ammonification largely by edaphic Leaf litter traits also temperature soil. Collectively, our findings suggest that N-cycling capacity functional guilds should be incorporated into biogeochemical improve predictions understanding related ecological processes.

Summary Mycorrhizal symbioses between plants and fungi are vital for the soil structure, nutrient cycling, plant diversity, ecosystem sustainability. More than 250 000 species associated with mycorrhizal fungi. Recent advances in genomics related approaches have revolutionized our understanding of biology ecology associations. The genomes 250+ been released hundreds genes that play pivotal roles regulating symbiosis development metabolism characterized. rDNA metabarcoding metatranscriptomics provide novel insights into ecological cues driving communities functions expressed by these associations, linking to traits such as acquisition organic matter decomposition. Here, we review genomic studies revealed involved uptake development, discuss adaptations fundamental evolution lifestyles. We also evaluated services provided networks how hold promise sustainable agriculture forestry enhancing stress tolerance. Overall, unraveling intricate dynamics is paramount promoting sustainability addressing current pressing environmental concerns. This ends major frontiers further research.

Mining significantly impacts terrestrial ecosystems despite its importance to the global economy. As part of soil ecosystems, fungi are highly responsive environmental and human-induced drivers, shifting community composition structure. Indeed, play a key role in maintaining ecosystem resilience. Thus, we aim address question whether fungal communities maintain similar ecological functions changes due impact mining across ecosystems. To evaluate four with varying iron levels, used FUNGuild database assign functional guilds at genus level. Co-occurrence network ordination analyses were infer relationships among taxa visualize correlation between edaphic properties communities. A total 22 identified, dung saprotrophs, wood parasites, plant pathogens, ectomycorrhizal fungi, animal endophytes being most abundant. Soil such as pH, organic matter, texture, nutrients drive taxonomic shifts. Our findings indicate that while activities shift compositions profiles show overlap highly, moderately, lowly impacted indicating redundancy. Network analysis reveals connected hub contribute redundancy might act buffer against disturbances. emphasize important potential for using bioindicators recovery post-mining landscapes. From restoration perspective, this offers low-cost, ecologically meaningful tool monitoring guiding reclamation efforts.

Summary Effector secretion is crucial for root endophytes to establish and protect their ecological niche. We used time‐resolved transcriptomics monitor effector gene expression dynamics in two closely related Sebacinales, Serendipita indica vermifera , during symbiosis with three plant species, competition the phytopathogenic fungus Bipolaris sorokiniana cooperation root‐associated bacteria. observed increased response biotic interactions, particularly plants, indicating importance host colonization. Some effectors responded both plants microbes, suggesting dual roles intermicrobial plant–microbe interactions. A subset of putative antimicrobial effectors, including a GH18‐CBM5 chitinase, was induced exclusively by microbes. Functional analyses this chitinase revealed its plant‐protective properties. conclude that dynamic underpins ability Sebacinales thrive diverse niches single fungal contributing substantially niche defense.

Initial homogeneous pine regeneration (~58 ago) followed by uneven beech (~45 ago), leading to current successional stage which areas resembling monospecific stands are at close distances under comparable environmental conditions pine−beech areas. Soil fine root samples were collected beside trees three soil treatments: control, litter exclusion, nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium (NPK) fertilization. twice year (in May October from 2017 2020), 2018 2020). fertilization had bigger impact than exclusion on chemical parameters, lower pH NH4+ values. Also, increases total nitrogen, available phosphorus, microbial phosphorus found after Scots showed overall biomass, specific length, tissue density beech, presenting also very little response treatments. On other hand, higher biomass but, when fertility enhanced, recorded. negative effect over observed, as presence decreased growing near Beech not only demonstrated an elevated capability compete resources but greater plasticity pine, enhancing potential take advantage new resources.
