An arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus accelerates decomposition and acquires nitrogen directly form organic matter

Article Abstract:

Research is presented concerning the influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis on increased nitrogen capture and on decomposition of organic material in the soil. The hyphal growth of the fungus independently of the host plant is discussed.
