What characteristics of dead wood promote fungal species richness in forests? And how can we use this information to manage fungal biodiversity?

New research on the functional diversity of dead wood in Norwegian forests provides some answers.

Root‐mycorrhizal foraging strategies shift with forest age more than with nitrogen manipulation
Plant nutrient foraging depends on roots and mycorrhizal fungi, which are affected by plant carbon (C) investment and soil nutrient availability. The C supply for root metabolism and associated fungi...

The February cover of "Ecological Monographs" gets right to the root! This larch root & its fuzzy fungal partner were photographed as part of a study showing how roots & fungal allies shift their foraging strategies as forests age

Towards ‘digital ecology’: Advances in integrating artificial intelligence from data generation to ecological insight
Ecology and artificial intelligence (AI) are becoming increasingly intertwined. Originally, the intersection between the two disciplines was driven by a critical need for AI to help process rapidl...

When humans create an artificial island, how do fungi colonize this new habitat?

Using the Danish island Peberholm as an experimental system, a recent Fungal Ecology article examines arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal succession on new land. doi.org/10.1016/j.fu...
