The paper creates the Global Root Trait (GRooT) Database to integrate root trait data into large-scale analyses by standardizing and curating root trait records from diverse studies.

The paper creates global maps of mycorrhizal plant distribution and links ectomycorrhizal vegetation loss to changes in terrestrial carbon stocks.

FungalRoot compiles and provides a comprehensive database of plant mycorrhizal associations, offering data on colonization intensity and metadata to support ecological and evolutionary research.

The paper examines if leaf economic relationships exist within plant functional types using a Bayesian multivariate model and finds they are generally consistent but vary in strength across types.

The paper identifies factors driving mutualism breakdown between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, finding that mutualism breakdown is stable only when plants switch to other symbionts or develop alternative resource acquisition strategies.
