Carbon flow from plant to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi is reduced under phosphorus fertilization (2017, background): “Nevertheless, this could have contributed to the reduction in AMF development (Verbruggen et al. 2016).”
Agricultural intensification reduces microbial network complexity and the abundance of keystone taxa in roots (2018, unknown): “Neutral lipid fatty assay or NLFA 16:1ω5 is also used as an indicator of AMF biomass, however, NLFA 16:1ω5 is mainly present in storage organs [63].”
Linking microbial community composition to C loss rates during wood decomposition (2017, background): “Verbruggen et al. (2016) found that litterderived 13C retention does not closely track 13C PLFA 18:2u6,9 measurements, indicating that most fungal PLFAs biomarkers indicate variation in fungi and not plant litter.”
