Mycorrhizal fungi as drivers of ecosystem processes in heathland and boreal forest biomes (2004, background): “The former design was selected to simulate the impacts upon organic N assimilation of anthropogenic mineral N depositions, which occur mostly in the form of NO3 and have devastated heathlands in lowland Europe (Aerts 2002), while the latter was considered to represent the more pristine boreal enviro”
Natural Abundance of 15N in Nitrogen-Limited Forests and Tundra Can Estimate Nitrogen Cycling Through Mycorrhizal Fungi: A Review (2008, background): “Tundra soils of the arctic and forest soils of temperate and boreal regions typically contain high amounts of organic N and low concentrations of inorganic N (Aerts 2002); growth of trees and shrubs is strongly N-limited (Nadelhoffer and others 1992).”
Nitrogen enrichment causes minimal changes in arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization but shifts community composition—evidence from rDNA data (2005, background): “Results and conclusions from field and greenhouse experiments vary greatly and indicate that soil N enrichment may increase, decrease, or have no effect on root colonization by AM fungi (Aerts 2002; Bentivenga and Hetrick 1992a; Hayman 1982; Johnson et al. 2003; Rillig et al. 2002; Sylvia and Neal 1”
Effect of long-term nitrogen fertilization on mycorrhizal fungi associated with a dominant grass in a semiarid grassland (2007, background): “AMF response to N fertilization is highly variable (Aerts 2002; Rillig et al. 2002).”
The invasive plant Alliaria petiolata (garlic mustard) inhibits ectomycorrhizal fungi in its introduced range (2008, background): “…mycorrhizal fungi, Pinus strobus Journal of Ecology (2008) doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2745.2008.0@@@@.x Introduction As diverse and abundant constituents of forest microbial communities, ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi play key roles in the functioning of forest ecosystems (Aerts 2002; Read et al. 2004).”
Seeking the elusive function of the root-colonising dark septate endophytic fungi (2005, background): “Current data suggest that in many soils organic N is in greater abundance than inorganic forms (Aerts 2002 and references therein).”
A trait‐based analysis of the role of phosphorus vs. nitrogen enrichment in plant species loss across North‐west European grasslands (2011, background): “As ericoid mycorrhizae are known to increaseN uptake in exchange for carbon assimilates (Aerts 2002), the susceptibility to increased N of species that support ericoid mycorrhizae may be similar to the susceptibility of arbuscular mycorrhizal species to increased P (Bever et al.”
Testate Amoebae and Nutrient Cycling with Particular Reference to Soils (2010, background): “In the Ericaceae, plants form ericoid mycorrhizae in which the fungal partner aids the plant in the uptake of nutrients—especially nitrogen compounds (Aerts 2002).”
