Temperate forests dominated by arbuscular or ectomycorrhizal fungi are characterized by strong shifts from saprotrophic to mycorrhizal fungi with increasing soil depth
In temperate and boreal forests, competition for soil resources between free-living
saprotrophs and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi has been suggested to restrict saprotrophic …
