Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Nr- and warming-induced changes in roots and AMF reduced belowground C input, as shown by 13C tracing.
- Intervention effect Nr- and warming-induced changes in roots and AMF reduced mineral-associated organic C and microbial necromass in soil.
- Intervention effect Nr- and warming-induced changes in roots and AMF stimulated organic C decomposition.
- Intervention effect Nr input increased soil N:P ratios.
- Intervention effect Nr input shifted AMF communities toward taxa with finer extraradical hyphae.
