Abstract

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are important below-ground carbon (C) sinks that can be sensitive to increased nitrogen (N) availability. The abundance of AM fungi (AMF) was estimated in maple (Acer spp.) fine roots following more than a decade of experimental additions of N designed to simulate chronic atmospheric N deposition.

Keywords

Acer saccharum (sugar maple); arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF); neutral lipid fatty acid (NLFA); nitrogen deposition; phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA); staining
