Soil nutrient status and fungal community structure of high and low phosphatase microsites in a mixed Douglas-fir paper birch stand
Phosphorus (P) plays an important role in driving primary production in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the majority of P in soil is covalently bound to complex organic compounds and is largely inaccessible to plants. Soil fungi facilitate the release of mineral P from organic forms, through the re...
