Nitrogen nutrition of beech forests in a changing climate: importance of plant-soil-microbe water, carbon, and nitrogen interactions

J Simon, M Dannenmann, R Pena, A Gessler… - Plant and Soil, 2017 - Springer

Ectomycorrhizal diversity, taxon‐specific traits and root N uptake in temperate beech forests

AM Khokon, D Janz, A Polle - New Phytologist, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Roots of forest trees are colonized by a diverse spectrum of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungal
species differing in their nitrogen (N) acquisition abilities. Here, we hypothesized that root N …

Shifts in ectomycorrhizal fungal communities and exploration types relate to the environment and fine-root traits across interior Douglas-fir forests of western Canada

CE Defrenne, TJ Philpott, SHA Guichon… - Frontiers in Plant …, 2019 - frontiersin.org
Large-scale studies that examine the responses of ectomycorrhizal fungi across
biogeographic gradients are necessary to assess their role in mediating current and …

Elevation matters more than season in shaping the heterogeneity of soil and root associated ectomycorrhizal fungal community

S Gong, B Feng, SP Jian, GS Wang, ZW Ge… - Microbiology …, 2022 - Am Soc Microbiol
Ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi play important roles in forest ecosystems, and their richness
and composition can change along with elevation and season changes. However, no study …

Mycorrhizal C/N ratio determines plant-derived carbon and nitrogen allocation to symbiosis

R Pena, SL Bluhm, S Ammerschubert… - Communications …, 2023 - nature.com
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 …
