Fine root litter is the principal source of carbon stored in forest soils and a dominant source
of carbon for fungal decomposers. Differences in decomposer capacity between fungal …

Fine roots are a dominant, but often overlooked source of carbon (C) in forest soils, and
decomposition of this material may have important consequences for C storage and turnover …

Despite the importance of fungi to forest carbon (C) cycling and calls to include microbial
interactions in ecosystem models, how shifting fungal guild abundances impact soil C stocks …

Little is known about the community dynamics of fungi on decomposing fine roots, despite
the importance of fine roots as a source of carbon to detrital systems in forests. We examined …

As an alternative to clear-cutting, variable-retention harvesting is now standard forest
management practice on the coast of British Columbia and in temperate forests globally, due …

Despite its importance to energy flow and nutrient cycling the process of fine root
decomposition has received comparatively little detailed research. Disruption of the fine root …

Shifts in ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal community composition occur after clearcut logging,
resulting in the loss of some dominant forest fungi. Because decaying wood is a remnant of …

A central goal in ecology is to understand how the environment modifies the composition of
ecological communities and, in turn, the functioning of ecosystems. Fine root litter accounts …

Accurate measurement of decomposition of fine roots in forests is important for
understanding nutrient cycling, carbon dynamics and biotic responses; however, various …
