We established 18 10-m radius  plots, each containing a pair of 1-m radius subplots (n =36), evenly  arrayed across three forest stands that contained areas of both high AM  and high EcM tree relative basal area as well as a patchy distribution of  the ErM shrub <em>Kalmia latifolia</em>.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0  \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 Within each of the 18  plots, we established paired 1-m radius subplots with and without K.  latifolia in the understory ( \u201c+/- ErM subplot\u201d) within 2 m of the center  of the 10-m radius plot. In each 1-m radius subplot, we measured trees \u22651  cm diameter at breast height (DBH; 1.37 m). We also measured DBH of all  trees \u226520 cm DBH within 10 m and trees \u22655 cm DBH within 5 m of plot  center. We calculated the percentage of EcM tree basal area out of total  basal area, scaled to m2 ha-1. \u00a0  In June 2021, we collected and pooled two soil samples for each  of three depths within the 36 paired subplots (i.e. 18 +ErM and 18 -ErM  subplots). The three depths included: (1) the Oa horizon (depth varied  depending on the thickness of the horizon); (2) the top 10 cm of the A  horizon, beginning at the base of the Oa horizon; and (3) a second,  contiguous A horizon sample that reached a cumulative sampling depth of 30  cm, inclusive of the depth of the Oa horizon. For the organic layer, we  removed the litter layer (i.e. the Oi and Oe horizons) and collected and  pooled two 25 by 25-cm areas of the Oa horizon using a square template.  For the mineral layers, we collected two contiguous depth increments from  the A horizon within the footprint of the 25 by 25-cm areas using a  5.08-cm diameter hammer corer. In each instance, we recorded the exact  sampling depth. Two subplots did not have an Oa horizon, so we collected a  total of 106 samples (3 sites \u00d7 6 plots \u00d7 2 subplots \u00d7 3 depths \u2212 2 Oa  samples). Soils were stored at 4\u00b0C prior to their analysis.  \u00a0 To prepare the soil samples for  analysis, we weighed and homogenized each sample, air dried a  representative subsample of non-sieved soil, and passed the remaining  field-moist sample through a 4-mm sieve. Using the non-sieved subsample,  we estimated the mass and volume of roots and stones and calculated soil  bulk density values. For total soil organic matter (SOM) content, we  heated samples at 550\u00b0C for 12-h in a muffle furnace and calculated loss  on ignition. \u00a0 We used a  modified substrate-induced respiration method as an indicator of active  saprotrophic microbial biomass. Using autolyzed yeast extract solution as  a labile C substrate, we measured rates of CO2 efflux over a 4-h  incubation period with an Infra-Red Gas Analyzer and calculated the rate  of C-CO2 production per unit of equivalent soil dry mass. For  microbially-available C, we estimated potential CO2 production rates over  a 14-d incubation period. We measured CO2 efflux over 24-h periods at days  1, 5, 8, and 14 and integrated the four measurements to calculate  cumulative C-CO2 production. We estimated water holding capacity by  saturating each field-moist sample with water and allowing it to drain  freely for 2 h. To calculate the equivalent dry mass of field-moist  samples, we measured gravimetric water content by oven-drying the samples  to constant mass at 105\u00b0C. \u00a0  We separated the &gt;53 and &lt;53\u2009\u00b5m particle size  fractions to quantify particulate (POM) and mineral-associated soil  organic matter fractions. We passed air-dried samples through a 2-mm sieve  and then dispersed soil aggregates by shaking ~30 g of the sieved,  air-dried sample with 30\u2009mL of sodium hexametaphosphate (NaHMP) solution  for 18 h. We rinsed each sample over a 53-\u00b5m sieve with deionized water  until the water passing through the sieve ran clear. We oven-dried the  &gt;53-\u00b5m fraction retained on the top of the sieve and a  representative subsample of the &lt;53-\u00b5m fraction suspended in  solution at 70\u00b0C. To estimate the mass of the &lt;53-\u00b5m fraction, we  calculated the difference between the initial soil mass (105\u00b0C equivalent)  and the recovered mass of the &gt;53-\u00b5m fraction (105\u00b0C equivalent).  To convert air-dried soil mass to oven-dried mass we dried a subsample of  each air-dried sample at 105\u00b0C. Fractions were ground to a fine powder and  analyzed for total carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) concentrations using a  Costech ESC 4010 Elemental Analyzer. \u00a0  We used an equivalent soil mass approach to calculate soil C,  N, SOM, microbial biomass, and microbially-available C stocks in three  equivalent soil mass layers as well as the sum of the three layers to  estimate cumulative stocks at the subplot level. Following this approach,  we report stocks to a standard soil mass and therefore allow the depth of  the equivalent soil mass layers to vary depending on soil bulk density. To  calculate equivalent soil mass stocks, we added or subtracted elemental  stocks of the deeper soil layer to the upper soil layer in 1-mm increments  until the soil mass from the upper layer is closest to that of the target  soil mass. We chose reference soil masses using the median or target field  sampling depth and the mean bulk density value for each of the three depth  increments to make them roughly equivalent to the sampled depths. Based on  this method, the organic layer had an equivalent mass of ~2.5 kg soil m-2  (median Oa depth = 2.5 cm; mean Oa bulk density = 0.10 g cm-3), the  surface mineral layer had an equivalent mass of ~37 kg soil m-2 (target  sampling depth = 10 cm; mean bulk density = 0.37 g cm-3), and the  subsurface mineral layer had an equivalent mass of ~126 kg soil m-2 (the  target sampling depth was 17.5 cm for a sample with a 2.5 cm Oa depth;  mean bulk density = 0.72 g cm-3). The cumulative equivalent soil mass for  the subplot-level stocks was the sum of the three layers, or ~166 kg soil  m-2.", "keywords": ["equivalent soil mass", "ericoid mycorrhizal fungi", "13.

Tropical forests are hyperdiverse, yet extensive areas of monodominant  forest occur in the tropics worldwide. Most long-lived and persistent  monodominant tree species form ectomycorrhizal fungi symbioses, allowing  them to obtain nutrients directly from soil organic matter. This might  promote monodominance by reducing nutrient availability to co-occurring  species, the majority of which form associations with arbuscular  mycorrhizal fungi. 2. Gilbertiodendron dewevrei forest is the most  widespread monodominant forest in tropical Africa. Its distribution  appears determined in part by moisture availability, but its monodominance  is not thought to be driven by its fungal partner or soil fertility. 3.  Here we compare soil fertility of twenty G. dewevrei stands to mixed  forest from three sites across an 8,400 km2 region of the Central African  Republic and the Republic of Congo. In contrast to previous studies, we  find monodominant G. dewevrei stands associated with infertile soils, as  base cations (calcium, magnesium, total exchangeable bases) and  extractable manganese are extremely low, and significantly lower in soils  under G. dewevrei forest compared to mixed forest. Further, and consistent  with ectomycorrhizal forests globally, soil carbon to nitrogen and carbon  to phosphorus ratios are significantly higher in G. dewevrei stands than  in mixed forest stands, providing evidence in support of direct  acquisition of nitrogen and phosphorus from soil organic matter by  ectomycorrhizal fungi. 4. Gilbertiodendron dewevrei recruits from the  seedling bank, with its large seedlings surviving in high densities for  over a decade. We tested whether light plasticity could facilitate  monodominance by growing seedlings of G. dewevrei under controlled light  conditions. We found that its seedlings grow well under a wide range of  irradiance levels and conclude that this plasticity affords a competitive  advantage. 5. Synthesis: We reframe the discussion of factors contributing  to monodominance of G. dewevrei into one of resource acquisition and use  efficiency. In particular, G. dewevrei is associated with moist and  infertile soils and competes well under a variety of light conditions. Our  data is consistent with a model where root associations with  ectomycorrhizal fungi drive monodominance through the direct acquisition  of nutrients from soil organic matter, promoting nutrient limitation of  co-occurring species.", "keywords": ["2.

Sporocarps from ECMF species such as Terfezia claveryi, Tuber melanosporum, Tuber aestivum and Lactarius delicious have been successfully cultivated. Due to biotechnological advances, a considerable evolution in ECMF cultivation techniques was observed in the last decade. New technologies and intensified Research and Development allow for a better understanding of the physiology of the plant\uffe2\uff80\uff90fungi symbioses and how climate change affects them. Studying forest management practices is also essential to optimise the natural production of ectomycorrhizal sporocarps and help develop sustainable production practices. This knowledge revealed the importance of ECMF and their role in the rural bioeconomy and highlighted the need to establish sustainable cultivation practices. A successful example of ECMF cultivation is the production of Terfezia species, namely, Terfezia claveryi and Terfezia boudieri. Terfezia truffles are traditional delicacies with high socioeconomic relevance and numerous biotechnological applications. Furthermore, these Mediterranean native species are an important tool to develop the bioeconomy in rural areas by creating new production strategies. Furthermore, exploiting these and other native Mediterranean species can promote sustainable practices in line with new European Green Deal strategies, such as the Farm to Fork strategy, the EU Biodiversity strategy for 2030 and the Climate Law. This work reviews ECMF cultivation practices and forest management studies, presenting the case of Terfezia cultivation and how the sustainable production of wild and planted ECMF may contribute to achieving the European Green Deal objectives and to a more resilient Europe.</p", "keywords": ["2.

They are a key part of belowground communication as they produce a vast array of metabolites, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as 1-octen-3-ol. Here, we tested if the VOC 1-octen-3-ol may be involved in the ECM fungal mechanisms that modulate below and aboveground communities. For that, we conducted three in vitro assays with ECM fungi and the 1-octen-3-ol volatile to (i) explore the effects of mycelium growth of three ECM species, (ii) investigate the impact on the germination of six host Cistaceae species, and (iii) study the impact on host plant traits. The effects of 1-octen-3-ol on mycelium growth of the three ECM species depended on the dose and species: Boletus reticulatus was the most sensitive species to the low (VOC) dose, while T. leptoderma was the most tolerant. In general, the presence of the ECM fungi resulted in higher seed germination, while 1-octen-3-ol resulted in lower seed germination. The combined application of the ECM fungus and the volatile further inhibited seed germination, possibly due to the accumulation of 1-octen-3-ol above the plant species\u2019 threshold. Seed germination and plant development of Cistaceae species were influenced by ECM fungal volatiles, suggesting that 1-octen-3-ol may mediate changes in below and aboveground communities.</p></article>", "keywords": ["0301 basic medicine", "0303 health sciences", "ectomycorrhizal fungi", "QH301-705.5", "Cistaceae", "15.
