Saprotrophic fungi
11 steps- Start: Fresh litter colonized by fungi
- End: Fungal products released
- Hyphae colonize fresh litter surface
- and 8 more in this process
- Start: White-rot and brown-rot fungi: two routes to lignin and cellulose decay
- End: White-rot and brown-rot fungi: two routes to lignin and cellulose decay
- Mineral nitrogen released as litter decays represses ligninolytic enzymes and phenol oxidase in lignin-rich litter, slowing late-stage decay while speeding early cellulose decay
- Start: Ectomycorrhizal organic nitrogen mining and the Gadgil effect
- End: Ectomycorrhizal organic nitrogen mining and the Gadgil effect
- Ectomycorrhizal fungi compete with free-living decomposers for N and may slow decomposition (the Gadgil effect): trenching to remove ectomycorrhizal roots raised litter mass loss in a pine plantation
