This project investigates the role of mycorrhizal fungi in the decomposition of soil organic matter and its impact on carbon cycling in soils. Using ericaceous plant species in New Zealand, it aims to understand how these fungi interact with carbon in soils and the implications for climate change.
A major determinant of climate change is the rate at which carbon (C) accumulates in soils and whether they will switch from being a sink to a source.
This depends on the fate of the C contained in soil organic matter (SOM), which is released into the atmosphere mostly through the activity of soil saprotrophic microbes.
Recent circumstantial evidence suggests that mycorrhizal fungi (MF), symbionts of most land plant roots, can mobilise nutrients from SOM, contributing directly to SOM decompositi…
