TL;DR: In this article, the authors draw together the research on the two-way connection of streams and their riparian forests of the boreal zone from ecological points of view and outline the possible effects of climate change on stream-riparian interactions.

TL;DR: It is shown that the interplay between abiotic factors (changes in soil properties) and biotic factors (occurrence and identity of shrubs) played a key role in the structure and uniqueness of soil fungal communities along the succession.

TL;DR: The circumpolar Arctic is currently facing multiple global changes that have the potential to alter the capacity of tundra soils to store carbon as discussed by the authors. Yet, predicting changes in soil carbon is hindered by the difficulty of predicting changes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tested how four years of experimental warming and fertilization affected organic soil fungal communities in sites with decadal history of either heavy or light reindeer grazing using high-throughput sequencing of ITS2 rDNA region.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that endophytic communities of buds are richer than previously thought and suggest that the meristem-associated endophytes should be studied further for a possible role in sprouting and aiding regeneration of trees.
