Relative investment into outsourcing nutrient aquisition through root exudation and mycorrhizal production was more choregraphed to seasonal nutrient demands and the lifecycle of the tree, and was enhanced under elevated carbon dixoide. 4/6

At the University of Birmingham Institute of Forest Research (BIFoR) free air carbon enrichment facility in Staffordshire, England, we quantified root exudation and ectomycorrhizal production, alongside root morphology and exudate chemistry across 1 year in a mature oak forest. 2/6
