The production and turnover of extramatrical mycelium of ectomycorrhizal fungi in forest soils: role in carbon cycling

A Ekblad, H Wallander, DL Godbold, C Cruz… - Plant and Soil, 2013 - Springer

fungi in carbon (C) cycling in ecosystems. However, our understanding has until recently …

Deep soil organic matter—a key but poorly understood component of terrestrial C cycle

C Rumpel, I Kögel-Knabner - Plant and soil, 2011 - Springer
Despite their low carbon (C) content, most subsoil horizons contribute to more than half of
the total soil C stocks, and therefore need to be considered in the global C cycle. Until …

A meta-analysis on the response of microbial biomass, dissolved organic matter, respiration, and N mineralization in mineral soil to fire in forest ecosystems

Q Wang, M Zhong, S Wang - Forest Ecology and Management, 2012 - Elsevier
The effects of fire on labile soil C and N in forest ecosystems are important for understanding
C sequestration and N cycling not only because labile soil C and N are often variables that …
