The microbiota of most forest soils is dominated by ecto-mycorrhizal and saprotrophic
decomposer fungi which are the main organisms involved respectively in the supply of …

Mycorrhizal plants are commonly believed to direct much more of their photosynthates into
the soil than non-mycorrhizal plants. As the growth of most organisms of the detrital food …

Over 30 years have passed since David Read's observation that biome-level patterns in
mycorrhizal dominance parallel distinct gradients in soil organic matter and nitrogen …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) transport substantial plant carbon (C) that serves as a
substrate for soil organisms, a precursor of soil organic matter (SOM), and a driver of soil …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal and ectomycorrhizal symbioses are among the most important
drivers of terrestrial ecosystem dynamics. Historically, the two types of symbioses have been …

This thesis describes the ectomycorrhizal community and how it is affected by nitrogen
fertilization and forest regeneration methods. Fertilizer treatments included ammonium …

Mineralization by soil micro-organisms plays an important role in the environment as it
releases trapped mineral nutrients (phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and iron) …

Exotic pine plantations are promoted for their presumed capacity to provide a net sink of
atmospheric C. Millions of hectares worldwide will be subjected to conversion into …

The loss of energy-rich carbon compounds from plant roots to soil microbial populations
constitutes a fundamental supply process to the soil ecosystem and the direct supply of host …

The diversity of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi on adult trees and seedlings of five species,
Anthonotha fragrans, Anthonotha macrophylla, Cryptosepalum tetraphyllum …
