Contributions of ectomycorrhizal fungal mats to forest soil respiration

Distinct aggregations of fungal hyphae and rhizomorphs, or "mats", formed by some genera of ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi are common features of soils in coniferous forests of the Pacific Northwest. We measured in situ respiration rates of <i>Piloderma</i> mats an...
