The effect of anthropogenic nitrogen (N) inputs on the structure of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities in Norway spruce forests was investigated. With the use of soil DNA amplicon sequencing, ectomycorrhizal communities were described in spruce forests exposed historically to different anthropogenic N deposition and experimental manipulative N treatments. This information was put into context with soil biochemical properties and rates of soil processes involved in C and N cycling in order to reveal possible consequences of ectomycorrhizal community restructuring for soil and ecosystem functioning. |
