Relationship Between Belowground Carbon Allocation and Nitrogen Uptake in Saplings Varies by Plant Mycorrhizal Type
While it has long been hypothesized that belowground carbon (C) allocation in plants is tightly coupled to nutrient uptake, empirical tests of this are rare, especially for woody plants. We grew tree saplings of nine species in soils enriched in isotopically-labeled nitrogen (N) and after several mo...
