Mycorrhizal C/N ratio determines plant-derived carbon and nitrogen allocation to symbiosis
Abstract Carbon allocation of trees to ectomycorrhizas is thought to shape forest nutrient cycling, but the sink activities of different fungal taxa for host resources are unknown. Here, we investigate fungal taxon-specific differences in naturally composed ectomycorrhizal (EM) communities for plant...
