Mycorrhizal fungi as drivers of ecosystem processes in heathland and boreal forest biomes (2004, background): “2003) and one using morphotyping alone (Koide and Wu 2003), indicate clustering of distinctive groups of mycorrhizal fungi in specific niches in coniferous forest soils.”
The addition of labile carbon alters litter fungal communities and decreases litter decomposition rates (2009, background): “The presence of roots decreased themoisture content of plant litter and surrounding soil during the study period, and this could influence saprotrophicmicrobial activity and decomposition rates (Parmelee et al., 1993; Koide and Wu, 2003).”
Networks of power and influence: the role of mycorrhizal mycelium in controlling plant communities and agroecosystem functioning (2004, background): “…the drying of soil by water extraction by EM has recently been implicated in reduced litter decomposition in the presence of EM networks (Koide and Wu 2003), but there are also indications that under severe surface drought conditions, water can be supplied to mycorrhizal hyphae from…”
