Respiration Responses of Roots, Mycorrhizal Fungi and Free-living Microbes to an Extreme Drought Cycle Resistance and resilience of auto- and heterotrophic respiration during drought. The researchers imposed a drought-rewetting event on mesocosms planted with maple (Acer saccharum Marshall; arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi host) or oak (Quercus alba L.; ectomycorrhizal fungi host) saplings that were separated into … Continue reading Respiration Responses of Roots, Mycorrhizal Fungi and Free-living Microbes to an Extreme Drought Cycle
