Book Synopsis Diversity and Function of Root-associated Fungal Communities in Relation to Nitrogen Nutrition in Temperate Forests by : Quang Dung Nguyen
Book excerpt: Ectomycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic association with roots of a variety of plant species. They provide plants with nutrients in exchange of photosynthetic carbohydrates. In natural ecosystems, plants form associations not only with ectomycorrhizal fungi but also with a variety of other microbes. Interest in root-associated fungal communities is increasing because they may play an important role in plant nutrition and fitness. Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient for plant growth and development but often a limiting factor in forest ecosystems. To date, little is known on the relationship ...
