Abstract: Warmer temperatures and anthropogenic N depositions are altering soil nutrient cycles and plant nutrition worldwide and are projected to rise dramatically in the future, particularly at the high latitudes. How much will such alterations affect symbiotic organisms such as ectomycorrhizae (ECM)? The aim was to investigate the short-term effects of warmer soil temperatures and N-enriched precipitations on roots and ECM. A field experiment was established during 2008–2010 in two black spruce (Picea mariana) stands of the boreal forest of Quebec, ...
