Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Long-term warming increased ECM fungal diversity on Betula nana roots.
- Intervention effect Warming significantly increased high biomass fungi with proteolytic capacity, especially Cortinarius spp., on Betula nana.
- Intervention effect Warming reduced fungi with high affinities for labile N, especially Russula spp., on Betula nana.
- Intervention effect Fertilization caused relatively small changes in the composition of the ECM community of Betula nana.
- Intervention effect Fertilization increased the abundance of saprotrophs in the ECM community of Betula nana.
- Association Warming alters nutrient cycling in tundra, according to the authors data (interpretation).
