[HTML][HTML] 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 …

Sporocarp nutrition of ectomycorrhizal fungi indicates an important role for endemic species in a high productivity temperate rainforest

MC McPolin, JM Kranabetter, TJ Philpott… - New …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Endemic species of ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) are found throughout many biomes, but it is

Ectomycorrhizal fungi of Douglas‐fir retain newly assimilated carbon derived from neighboring European beech

M Audisio, J Muhr, A Polle - New Phytologist, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi distribute tree‐derived carbon (C) via belowground hyphal
networks in forest ecosystems. Here, we asked the following:(1) Is C transferred …

Different ectomycorrhizal fungal species impact poplar growth but not phosphorus utilization under low P supply

H Shi, U Lipka, A Polle - Tree Physiology, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Tree growth is often limited by phosphorus (P) availability. The trade-off between P
