Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Mature forest fungal communities did not directly change nodule biomass.
- Observation Specific isolated bacteria and fungi contributed to inhibition of Frankia mediated growth promotion.
- Intervention effect Increased nitrogen availability significantly reduced Alnus nodule biomass.
- Observation The study established a nitrogen threshold beyond which reliance on symbiosis diminished.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus addition stimulated Alnus nodulation.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus addition stimulated Alnus tree growth.
