Abstract Forests store substantial amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC), but SOC stocks differ strongly between forest ecosystems dominated by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) or ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi. In temperate forests, nearly all tree species associate with either AM EcM fungi, it is unclear if variation in linked to the dominance versus trees at local scales. However, are also influenced many other factors, including plant diversity, traits, properties and microbial community...
Ecological theory predicts that high local diversity observed in plant communities could be maintained by soilborne pathogens and allelopathic autotoxicity trigger negative conspecific density dependence (CDD), but mutualistic fungi promotion simultaneously counteract these biotic processes. Here, we combined a phenolic-acid addition experiment of tree seedlings associated with different mycorrhizal an extensive field survey to test the allelopathy-fungi mechanisms relate CDD natural...
