The functional role of ericoid mycorrhizal plants and fungi on carbon and nitrogen dynamics in forests

EB Ward, MC Duguid, SE Kuebbing… - New …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) shrubs commonly occur in forest understories and could therefore
alter arbuscular (AM) and/or ectomycorrhizal (EcM) tree effects on soil carbon and nitrogen …

Ericoid shrubs shape fungal communities and suppress organic matter decomposition in boreal forests

N Fanin, KE Clemmensen, BD Lindahl… - New …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Mycorrhizal fungi associated with boreal trees and ericaceous shrubs are central actors in

Nitrogen addition stimulates litter decomposition rate: From the perspective of the combined effect of soil environment and litter quality

J Wu, H Zhang, X Cheng, G Liu - Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2023 - Elsevier
Despite the essential role of litter decomposition in carbon (C) and nutrient cycle in terrestrial
ecosystems, some uncertainties remain about how this fundamental process is affected by …

Differences in soil organic matter between EcM‐and AM‐dominated forests depend on tree and fungal identity

CE Hicks Pries, R Lankau, GA Ingham, E Legge… - Ecology, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
As global change shifts the species composition of forests, we need to understand which
species characteristics affect soil organic matter (SOM) cycling to predict future soil carbon …

High‐level nitrogen additions accelerate soil respiration reduction over time in a boreal forest

A Xing, E Du, H Shen, L Xu, M Zhao, X Liu… - Ecology …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Increased nitrogen (N) inputs are widely recognised to reduce soil respiration (Rs), but how
N deposition affects the temporal dynamics of Rs remains unclear. Using a decade‐long …

Depth‐dependent effects of ericoid mycorrhizal shrubs on soil carbon and nitrogen pools are accentuated under arbuscular mycorrhizal trees

EB Ward, A Polussa, MA Bradford - Global Change Biology, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Plant mycorrhizal associations influence the accumulation and persistence of soil organic
matter and could therefore shape ecosystem biogeochemical responses to global changes …

Ectomycorrhizal effects on decomposition are highly dependent on fungal traits, climate, and litter properties: A model-based assessment

S Shao, N Wurzburger, B Sulman, CH Pries - Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2023 - Elsevier
It has been proposed that competition between ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi and free-living
saprotrophs for resources like nitrogen (N) slows decomposition and increases the soil …
