The biology of mycorrhiza in the Ericaceae

The biology of mycorrhiza in the Ericaceae Measurements of the chitin content of the rooting horizons of a typical mor‐humus heathland soil, indicate that chitin can contain in excess of 20% of the total nitrogen in the litter (L) horizon and 30% in the fermentation (F) horizon. Much of this chitin‐nitrogen is thought to be contained in the mycelial walls of soil fungi. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png New Phytologist Wiley

Abstract

Measurements of the chitin content of the rooting horizons of a typical mor‐humus heathland soil, indicate that chitin can contain in excess of 20% of the total nitrogen in the litter (L) horizon and 30% in the fermentation (F) horizon. Much of this chitin‐nitrogen is thought to be contained in the mycelial walls of soil fungi.
