FIGURE 2.3 Diagrammatic representation of the decomposition of plant residues by fungal enzymes, the mineralization of inorganic nutrients to the soil nutrient pool, and the immobilization of nutrients into fungal biomass. At time A, the fungal hyphae colonize the plant resource, secrete extracellular enzymes (arrows within the resource), and mineralize nutrients
