Ectomycorrhizal fungi contribute to soil organic matter cycling in sub-boreal forests

LA Phillips, V Ward, MD Jones - The ISME journal, 2014 - academic.oup.com
Soils of northern temperate and boreal forests represent a large terrestrial carbon (C) sink.

Ectomycorrhizal fungi: the symbiotic route to the root for phosphorus in forest soils

JWG Cairney - Plant and Soil, 2011 - Springer
Many forest trees have evolved mutualistic symbioses with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi that
contribute to their phosphorus (P) nutrition. Forest productivity is frequently limited by P, a …

Growth of ectomycorrhizal fungal mycelium along a Norway spruce forest nitrogen deposition gradient and its effect on nitrogen leakage

A Bahr, M Ellström, C Akselsson, A Ekblad… - Soil Biology and …, 2013 - Elsevier
Almost all boreal and temperate forest tree species live in symbiosis with ectomycorrhizal
fungi (EMF); the trees transfer carbon (C) to the fungi in exchange for nutrients and water …
