Defoliation and mycorrhizal symbiosis: a functional balance between carbon sources and below‐ground sinksNARA Subscribed
Herbivory is generally assumed to negatively influence mycorrhizal fungi because of reduced photosynthate to support mycorrhizae following defoliation. We examined effects of 60% and 100% defoliation (excluding current year needles) on tree growth and ectomycorrhizal associations of 10–15 year old Scots pines ( Pinus sylvestris ). Over 98% of short roots were colonized by mycorrhizal fungi, and contrary to expectation, defolia...
