Acquisition of host-derived carbon in biomass of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Pisolithus microcarpus is correlated to fungal carbon demand and plant defences
Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are key players in forest carbon (C) sequestration, receiving a
substantial proportion of photosynthetic C from their forest tree hosts in exchange for plant …

Share the wealth: Trees with greater ectomycorrhizal species overlap share more carbon
The mutualistic symbiosis between forest trees and ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) is among
the most ubiquitous and successful interactions in terrestrial ecosystems. Specific species of …

Transfer of 13C between paired Douglas‐fir seedlings reveals plant kinship effects and uptake of exudates by ectomycorrhizas
Processes governing the fixation, partitioning, and mineralization of carbon in soils are
under increasing scrutiny as we develop a more comprehensive understanding of global …

Mycorrhizal C/N ratio determines plant-derived carbon and nitrogen allocation to symbiosis
Carbon allocation of trees to ectomycorrhizas is thought to shape forest nutrient cycling, but
the sink activities of different fungal taxa for host resources are unknown. Here, we …

A nitrogen fertilization field study of carbon-13 and nitrogen-15 transfers in ectomycorrhizas of Pinus sabiniana
MV Albarracín, J Six, BZ Houlton, CS Bledsoe - Oecologia, 2013 - Springer
Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi form relationships with higher plants; plants transfer C to fungi,
and fungi transfer nutrients to their host. While evidence indicates that this interaction is …
