TL;DR: This review gives a short overview of the most important health benefits that forests provide to humans, and the risks that forests may pose to human health, and discusses the future challenges for the research on the links between forests and human health.

TL;DR: It is concluded that specific diamines may be involved in the interaction between ectomycorrhizal fungi and adventitious root formation in Scots pine, and that the effects of specific exogenous polyamines are dependent on the fungal strain and its ability to produce these compounds.

TL;DR: In this article, a non-destructive minirhizotron technology has been used in wetland ecosystems for quantification of fine-root dynamics in wetlands, possibly because of methodological difficulties associated with the unique environmental, soil, and plant community characteristics of these systems.

TL;DR: The response of free polyamines in needles of Scots pine to varying needle potassium concentrations was investigated in two potassium fertilization experiments on drained peatlands and an exponential increase in putrescine concentrations in winter occurred within the range of needleassium concentrations that has been identified as indicating severe potassium deficiency.

TL;DR: Results indicated that microbial community in the northern fen representing Arctic soils would be more sensitive to environmental changes, and warming together with WLD decreased archaeal 16S rRNA copy numbers in general, and fungal ITScopy numbers in theNorthern fen.
