Saprotrophic and Ectomycorrhizal Fungi Contribute Differentially to Organic P Mobilization in Beech-Dominated Forest Ecosystems

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient, but European forest ecosystems are experiencing widespread declines in soil P concentrations. To clarify the roles of ectomycorrhizal (EM) and saprotrophic (SAP) fungi in P cycling in forest soils that differ in inorganic and organic P availability, we conduc...
