Guodong Zhang et al. found that #ArbuscularMycorrhizal (AM) stands supported significantly higher #SoilRespiration (Rs) and soil #C stock, litter turnover rate and fine root biomass than #Ectomycorrhizal (EM) stands, #TreeMycorrhizalType was the most important factor in regulating Rs and soil C stock compared with other biotic or abiotic factors.

Children are taught to leave wild mushrooms alone because of their potential to be poisonous. But trees on the other hand depend on fungi for their well-being.

How do plant–soil–microbial interactions mediate vegetation dynamics?

Studies have indicated that early- and mid-successional plants generally suffered from negative to neutral plant–soil feedback. However, the role of such plant–soil feedback during the postglacial primary succession of plants and microorganisms has not been fully understood.
