Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Elevated CO2 stimulated pine seedling productivity only with living soil inoculant.
- Intervention effect Elevated CO2 improved pine photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency only with living soil inoculant.
- Association The magnitude of the elevated CO2 response depended on forest soil inoculant source.
- Association The response was linked to a 70% increase in bacterial species richness.
- Association The response was linked to increased relative abundance of growth-promoting bacteria.
- Association The response coincided with a shift in saprotrophic fungal composition and root growth.
- Observation Inorganic nitrogen cycling under elevated CO2 favored nitrate accumulation.
- Association Nitrate-favoring nitrogen cycling correlated with a twofold reduction in photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency.
