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 …

Tree mycorrhizal type predicts within‐site variability in the storage and distribution of soil organic matter

ME Craig, BL Turner, C Liang, K Clay… - Global change …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Forest soils store large amounts of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), yet how predicted shifts in
forest composition will impact long‐term C and N persistence remains poorly understood. A …

[HTML][HTML] Mycorrhizal association better predicts tree effects on soil than leaf habit

MG Midgley, RS Sims - Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Predicting the ecological consequences of shifting forest composition requires an
understanding of how tree species alter the soils beneath them. However, given the huge …

Association of ectomycorrhizal trees with high carbon‐to‐nitrogen ratio soils across temperate forests is driven by smaller nitrogen not larger carbon stocks

K Zhu, ML McCormack, RA Lankau, JF Egan… - Journal of …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
The distribution of mycorrhizal associations across biomes parallels a distinct gradient of soil
carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks, raising the question of how mycorrhizal traits relate to …

Ericoid mycorrhizal shrubs alter the relationship between tree mycorrhizal dominance and soil carbon and nitrogen

EB Ward, MC Duguid, SE Kuebbing… - Journal of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Plant–fungal associations strongly influence forest carbon and nitrogen cycling. The
prevailing framework for understanding these relationships is through the relative …

The effects of tree-mycorrhizal type on soil organic matter properties from neighborhood to watershed scales

GS Seyfried, CD Canham, JW Dalling… - Soil Biology and …, 2021 - Elsevier
A large portion of terrestrial carbon (C) is stored as soil organic matter (SOM) so the balance
between C inputs to SOM and soil C loss through respiration has important implications for …

Tree biomass allocation differs by mycorrhizal association

FV Jevon, AK Lang - Ecology, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Tree biomass allocation to leaves, roots, and wood affects the residence time of carbon in
forests, with potentially dramatic implications for ecosystem carbon storage. However …

Decay by ectomycorrhizal fungi couples soil organic matter to nitrogen availability

WA Argiroff, DR Zak, PT Pellitier, RA Upchurch… - Ecology …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Interactions between soil nitrogen (N) availability, fungal community composition, and soil
organic matter (SOM) regulate soil carbon (C) dynamics in many forest ecosystems, but …

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 …

Tree species effects on topsoil carbon stock and concentration are mediated by tree species type, mycorrhizal association, and N-fixing ability at the global scale

Y Peng, IK Schmidt, H Zheng, P Heděnec… - Forest Ecology and …, 2020 - Elsevier
Selection of appropriate tree species is an important forest management decision that may
affect sequestration of carbon (C) in soil. However, information about tree species effects on …
