Abstract: COVER PHOTO: Tree roots and symbiotic fungi form a mutualistic relationship where roots provide essential carbon to fungi while fungi assist trees in absorbing water and nutrients through their extensive hyphal networks. Research conducted by Ding et al. (Ecological Monographs, Volume 95, Issue 4, Article e70039; doi:10.1002/ecm.70039) describes how this collaboration gives rise to diverse mycorrhizal morphologies and foraging strategies, enabling fine-tuned regulation of nutrient uptake and exchange, thereby driving material cycling in forest ecosystems. The cover image shows mycorrhizae. Photo credit: Gaigai Ding.
