We found mixed mycorrhizal forests had the lowest mycorrhizal C cost — and potentially greater growth — compared to AM- or ECM-dominated forests.
We also found that warming and N deposition reduced mycorrhizal C costs (favoring AM), while elevated CO₂ increased them (favoring ECM).

New paper! 📢
Our paper on modeling mycorrhizal carbon costs is out in @jgrbiogeo.bsky.social
Running the Myco-CORPSE model across 1800+ eastern U.S. forest sites, we validated modeled tree C allocation to AM & ECM fungi against literature data — the first such test ever! 🌲🍄 doi.org/10.1029/2025...
