Fungal community analysis by high-throughput sequencing of amplified markers – a user's guide (2013, background): “Taking advantage of the collective experience of six research groups, we here review the different stages involved in fungal community analysis, from field sampling via laboratory procedures to bioinformatics and data interpretation.”
Reviews and syntheses: Biological weathering and its consequences at different spatial levels – from nanoscale to global scale (2020, background): “Studies of vertical distribution of different functional guilds of fungi (Lindahl et al., 2007; Sterkenburg et al., 2018) suggest that ectomycorrhizal fungi are more abundant than saprotrophs in deeper organic and mineral horizons, presumably because they receive supplies of carbon from their plant ”
Microbial responses to a changing environment: implications for the future functioning of terrestrial ecosystems (2011, background): “…are primary agents of decay, the supply of N to plants can be supplemented by the mycorrhizal mobilization of N from soil humus (Talbot et al. 2008), especially by ectomycorrhizal fungi in boreal forests and northern heathlands (Read & Peres-Moreno 2003; Lindahl et al. 2007; not depicted in Fig 1).”
Connecting the green and brown worlds . allometric and stoichiometric predictability of above- and below-ground networks (2013, background): “…differentiation is reflected in the overall composition of leaves, stems, roots and seeds, and influences the litter quality and the microflora, as reported by Agnelli et al. (2007), Boström et al. (2007), Peuke et al. (2006), Lindahl et al. (2007), Risk et al. (2009) and Ascher et al. (2012).”
454 Pyrosequencing analyses of forest soils reveal an unexpectedly high fungal diversity. (2009, background): “Lindahl et al. (2007) reported that saprotrophic fungi were confined to the surface of the boreal forest floor.”
The rhizosphere zoo: An overview of plant-associated communities of microorganisms, including phages, bacteria, archaea, and fungi, and of some of their structuring factors (2009, background): “ECM fungi are also largely involved in mobilizing organic forms of nitrogen and phosphorus from the organic polymers in which they are sequestered (Read and PerezMoreno 2003; Hobbie and Horton 2007; Lindahl et al. 2007).”
Active and total microbial communities in forest soil are largely different and highly stratified during decomposition (2011, background): “The composition of fungal communities has been previously shown to differ substantially between litter and organic horizons, while deeper soil horizons showed greater similarity (O’Brien et al., 2005; Lindahl et al., 2007).”
Fungal Community Ecology: A Hybrid Beast with a Molecular Master (2008, background): “…studies using more advanced statistical methods to isolate the effects of plant species composition or model systems with simple plant communities have shown convincing evidence of niche partitioning based on soil chemistry (Parrent et al. 2006, Lekberg et al. 2007, Lindahl et al. 2007).”
Carbon flow in the rhizosphere: carbon trading at the soil–root interface (2009, background): “Experiments by Lindahl et al. (2007) suggest that decomposition of litter by saprotrophs and mobilisation of N from welldecomposed organic matter may be spatially and temporally separated in boreal forests.”
Tamm Review: On the nature of the nitrogen limitation to plant growth in Fennoscandian boreal forests (2017, methodology): “…± 1.0 SE) years for the uppermost layer, the S-layer, 14 ± 1.0 years for the F-layer, where mycorrhizal tree roots and their fungi first appear, and 42 ± 0.5 years for the Hlayer, the lowest horizon of the organic mor-layer (Franklin et al., 2003, see also Lindahl et al., 2007 and Section 3.5.).”
Rock-eating mycorrhizas: their role in plant nutrition and biogeochemical cycles (2008, background): “Lindahl et al. (2007) demonstrated vertical separation between saprotrophic fungi that colonised relatively recently shed litter and EcM fungi that replaced saprotrophs deeper down the profile where the substrates became depleted in available energy.”
