Moving beyond the black-box: fungal traits, community structure, and carbon sequestration in forest soils

CW Fernandez, PG Kennedy - New Phytologist, 2015 - JSTOR
More carbon (C) is stored globally in soils than biotic and atmospheric pools combined (Lal,
2004). As such, the biogeochemical processes affecting the amount of C sequestered in soil …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi–short-term liability but long-term benefits for soil carbon storage?

E Verbruggen, SD Veresoglou, IC Anderson, T Caruso… - New Phytologist, 2013 - JSTOR

Ectomycorrhizal fungal hyphae communities vary more along a pH and nitrogen gradient than between decayed wood and mineral soil microsites

JKM Walker, LA Phillips, MD Jones - Botany, 2014 - cdnsciencepub.com
Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal community composition is structured by soil properties, but
specialization for woody microsites by ECM fungi is equivocal. Because fungal mycelia …

Mycorrhizal fungi have a potential role in soil carbon storage under elevated CO2 and nitrogen deposition

KK Treseder, MF Allen - The New Phytologist, 2000 - cambridge.org
In this review, we discuss the potential for mycorrhizal fungi to act as a source or sink for
carbon (C) under elevated CO2 and nitrogen deposition. Mycorrhizal tissue has been …

KE Clemmensen, RD Finlay, A Dahlberg… - New …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Boreal forest soils store a major proportion of the global terrestrial carbon (C) and below‐
ground inputs contribute as much as above‐ground plant litter to the total C stored in the …
