Forest soil CO2 flux: uncovering the contribution and environmental responses of ectomycorrhizas (2007, background): “…14C pulse labelling have indicated that EM fungal activity is highly dependent on the substrate supply from roots (Leake et al., 2001) and it has also been shown that EM fungal fruiting body production depends on the recent rate of photosynthesis (Högberg et al., 2001; Kuikka et al., 2003).”
Microbial activity and soil respiration under nitrogen addition in Alaskan boreal forest (2008, background): “Reduced C supply from host plants may limit the ability of fungi to allocate C resources to reproductive structures (Kuikka et al., 2003).”
Mycorrhizal mushroom diversity and productivity—an indicator of forest health? (2011, background): “The biomass of ectomycorrhizal fruit bodies positively correlates with the starch concentration in fine roots (Kuikka et al. 2003), and starch content in the fine roots was shown to decrease from July to October, i.e. during the mushroom season (Högberg et al. 2001).”
