Abstract

    Given the current threats to US northeastern forest productivity and resilience, we seek to understand how the legacy of dominant mycorrhizal associations affects how forests regenerate, cycle nutrients, and sequester carbon following timber harvesting. In this field experiment, we will first investigate how changes in soil fungal communities and nutrient availability affect seedling survival in AM and EcM-dominated forest stands after logging.
