The extramatrical mycelium of ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) is an important source of soil
carbon and nitrogen. While the importance of recalcitrant compounds in the fungal cell wall …

The turnover of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungal biomass represents a significant input into
forest carbon (C) and nutrient cycles. Given the size of these fluxes, understanding the …

Characterizing the chemical changes in fungal necromass as it degrades, particularly over
short time intervals (days to weeks), is critical to clearly understanding how this organic …

Microbial necromass is now recognized as an important input into stable soil organic matter
pools in terrestrial ecosystems. While melanin and nitrogen content have been identified as …

Ectomycorrhizal fungal tissues comprise a significant forest‐litter pool. Ectomycorrhizal (EM)
fungi may also influence the decomposition of other forest‐litter components via competitive …

Recent studies have highlighted that dead fungal mycelium represents an important fraction
of soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) inputs and stocks. Consequently, identifying the microbial …

Understanding the post-senescent fate of fungal mycelium is critical to accurately quantifying
forest carbon and nutrient cycling, but how this organic matter source decomposes in wood …

Fungal necromass is a vital source of stable carbon and available nitrogen in soils,
especially in coniferous forests that are extensively colonized by ectomycorrhizal fungi …

Fungi represent a rapidly cycling pool of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in soils. Understanding
of how this pool impacts soil nutrient availability and organic matter fluxes is hindered by …

Mycorrhizal fungal necromass is increasingly recognized as an important contributor to soil
organic carbon pools, particularly in forest ecosystems. While its decomposition rate is …
