Biological weathering in soil: the role of symbiotic root-associated fungi biosensing minerals and directing photosynthate-energy into grain-scale mineral weathering (2008, background): “In the ectomycorrhizal associations of many trees, >90% of root tips are sheathed in fungus, from which fungal mycelial networks extend into soil to mobilize and absorb soil nutrients (Read et al., 2004).”
Rock-eating mycorrhizas: their role in plant nutrition and biogeochemical cycles (2008, background): “Studies on EcM assemblages and the functional roles of these species have often been confined to the organic horizon (see Read et al. 2004), but because chemical and mineralogical properties of soil horizons differ strongly, it seemed likely that different soil horizons provide different niches for…”
Microbial activity and soil respiration under nitrogen addition in Alaskan boreal forest (2008, background): “wood) and form mycorrhizal symbioses that facilitate nutrient acquisition by plants (Robinson, 2002; Read et al., 2004).”
Dynamics and pathways of autotrophic and heterotrophic soil CO2 efflux revealed by forest girdling (2011, background): “EM fungi form dense hyphal mats in the litter layer, and several species are known to produce ectoenzymes capable of decomposing organic matter (Read et al. 2003; Read & Perez-Moreno 2003; Talbot, Allison & Treseder 2008).”
Mycorrhizal diversity: Cause and effect? (2005, background): “Given that EM fungi are capable of utilizing organic forms of soil nutrients through the production extracellular enzymes (Read et al., 2004), and that some EM fungi possess limited saprotrophic ability (Colpaert and Van Tichelen, 1996), the quantity, quality and heterogeneity of soil organic matter”
Microbial contributions to climate change through carbon cycle feedbacks (2008, background): “Plant functional groups also differ markedly in their mycorrhizal status (Read et al., 2004) and their mechanism for nutrient uptake, including acquisition of different chemical forms of nitrogen, both inorganic and organic (McKane et al., 2002; Weigelt et al., 2005; Harrison et al., 2007).”
Contrasting effects of low and high nitrogen additions on soil CO2 flux components and ectomycorrhizal fungal sporocarp production in a boreal forest (2012, background): “In boreal forests, primary productivity is especially dependent on the activity of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi (Read et al., 2004).”
