Modelling the role of mycorrhizal associations in soil carbon cycling: insights from global analyses of mycorrhizal vegetation
In this PhD study, I aim to deepen our understanding of the influence of major mycorrhizal types, namely arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) and ectomycorrhizae (EM), on the global soil carbon cycle and their potential distribution changes under future environmental shifts.
