Fungi in tropical soils Targeted Locus (Loci)
We used a spatially explicit sampling strategy to examine soil nitrogen (N) cycling at scales ranging from the microsite to ecosystem level. We measured fungal community composition, total and inorganic N pools, gross proteolytic rate, net N mineralization, and microbial extracellular enzyme activity across 18 permanent plots spanning a dramatic gradient of soil N content and stand age.
