Enhanced suppression of saprotrophs by ectomycorrhizal fungi under high level of nitrogen fertilization

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) are widespread in northern conifer forests. By competing with the free-living saprotrophic fungal and bacterial communities for limited soil nitrogen, EMF are expected to suppress litter decomposition and thus drive soil carbon accumulation. The EMF may also stimulate rhi...
