Ectomycorrhizal fungi–potential organic matter decomposers, yet not saprotrophs
BD Lindahl, A Tunlid - New Phytologist, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Although hypothesized for many years, the involvement of ectomycorrhizal fungi in
decomposition of soil organic matter remains controversial and has not yet been fully …

Revisiting the 'Gadgil effect': do interguild fungal interactions control carbon cycling in forest soils?
CW Fernandez, PG Kennedy - New phytologist, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
In forest ecosystems, ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungi play a central role in the
breakdown of soil organic matter (SOM). Competition between these two fungal guilds has …
