Mycorrhiza and carbon flow to the soil
(1992) p.134-160- Abstract
- The current extent of knowledge on the supply of carbon compounds to
mycorrhizal roots and mycelia, and their subsequent distribution and
cycling within the soil ecosystem is reviewed. The carbon requirements
of different mycorrhizal fungi are discussed and carbon transfer from
host root tissue to the fungal biomass is considered in relation to
available information on the amounts and types of compounds that are
translocated, as well as their ultimate partitioning. Problems of
estimating mycorrhizal mycelial biomass and theoretical estimates of
necessary carbon flow are discussed. The possible existence and
implications of mycorrhizosphere effects and possible... (More) - The current extent of knowledge on the supply of carbon compounds to
