ABSTRACT

FIGURE 6.12 Model of the possible effects of increased atmospheric CO2 and elevated temperature on the treeectomycorrhizal symbiosis. The top model indicated the diversity and function of mycorrhizae in an elevated CO2 scenario. Increased photosynthesis leads to greater C supply to roots and fungi, which supports a greater access to nitrogen (in N-limiting systems). The effect of elevated temperature in scenario B suggests increased leaf litter
