Diversity of putative ericoid mycorrhizal fungi increases with soil aging and progressive phosphorus limitation throughout long-term ecosystem development
We identified fungi associated with the roots of Vaccinium calycinum (Ericaceae) across a 4.1-myr soil chronosequence and quantified changes in fungal diversity and species composition. We also used a fertilization experiment to test whether soil-age related nutrient limitation affected fungal community composition and structure.
