The potential of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in C cycling: a review
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) contribute predominantly to soil organic matter by
creating a sink demand for plant C and distributing to below-ground hyphal biomass. The …

Networks of power and influence: the role of mycorrhizal mycelium in controlling plant communities and agroecosystem functioning
Extraradical mycelia of mycorrhizal fungi are normally the hidden half of the symbiosis, but
they are powerful underground influences upon biogeochemical cycling, the composition of …

The depth distribution of soil organic carbon in relation to land use and management and the potential of carbon sequestration in subsoil horizons
K Lorenz, R Lal - Advances in agronomy, 2005 - Elsevier
Routine soil surveys for estimating the soil organic carbon (SOC) pool account for a soil
depth of about 1 m. Deeper soil horizons, however, may have a high capacity to sequester …
