Fine roots acquire essential soil resources and mediate biogeochemical cycling in terrestrial
ecosystems. Estimates of carbon and nutrient allocation to build and maintain these …

Predominant frameworks for understanding plant ecology have an aboveground bias that
neglects soil micro-organisms. This is inconsistent with recent work illustrating the importance …

Species interactions, ranging from antagonisms to mutualisms, form the architecture of
biodiversity and determine ecosystem functioning. Understanding the rules responsible for who …

… Results were analysed with a modified version of trampr software in R (FitzJohn & Dickie
2007). As species had been selected to insure a minimum 9 bp separation in PCR product …

… problem of matching RFLP patterns is also being developed (IA Dickie et al., unpublished). …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 493–502 Abstract Understanding the factors that drive soil carbon
(C) accumulation is of fundamental importance given their potential to mitigate climate …

DNA metabarcoding, especially when coupled with high‐through‐put DNA sequencing, is
currently revolutionizing our capacity to assess biodiversity across a full range of taxa and …

… Bisporella citrina was also observed in one single root tip sample as a secondary T-RFLP
pattern; fruiting bodies of this fungus are common in forest around the sampling area (IA Dickie…

… The near-complete removal of native woody plants from this region has resulted in driftwood
being largely derived from invasive woody shrubs and trees (LR Dickie and IA Dickie, …

Below‐ground plant functional traits regulate plant–soil interactions and may therefore strongly
influence ecosystem responses to global change. Despite this, knowledge of how fine‐…
