Production of external mycelium by ectomycorrhizal fungi in a norway spruce forest was reduced in response to nitrogen fertilization (2003, result): “We found a C : N ratio of about 20 in EM mycelia in nonfertilized plots at Skogaby, and similar C : N ratios are also reported from other forests in south Sweden © New Phytologist (2003) 158: 409–416 www.newphytologist.com (Wallander et al., 2003).”
Fifteen years of climate change manipulations alter soil microbial communities in a subarctic heath ecosystem (2007, background): “Furthermore, fertilization increased microbial biomass C to N ratio, which is typically higher with fungal than with bacterial dominance (Wallander et al., 2003).”
Elemental stoichiometry of Fungi and Bacteria strains from grassland leaf litter (2014, result): “Our results are consistent with a high Fungi C:N ratio previously detected in direct elemental measurements of ectomycorrhizal mycelia and fruiting bodies in forest soil and cultures (Van Veen and Paul, 1979; Lodge, 1987; Wallander et al., 2003).”
Plant functional traits and soil carbon sequestration in contrasting biomes. (2008, unknown): “Mycorrhizal fungi may have higher CUE than saprophytic fungi and bacteria, given that they obtain carbon within plant cells and have mycelium with a C : N ratio of 20 (Wallander et al. 2003).”
