This study measures carbon exudation rates in 11 tree species to explore how plant functional groups and root traits influence exudation patterns.

This study examines seasonal variation in ectomycorrhizal fungal abundance and composition across temperate forests, finding that leaf habit, exploration strategy, and soil moisture influence phenological dynamics.

The paper measures leaf and root traits in woody species to assess coordination and its impact on community structure, finding coordination of hydraulic traits and associations with ectomycorrhizal symbiosis and dominance.

The paper links fungal and bacterial functions in root-associated communities to root economics traits in a subtropical forest.
