Effects of nutrient-rich substrate and ectomycorrhizal symbiosis on spruce seedling biomass in abandoned nests of the wood ant (Formica polyctena): a laboratory experiment
Original language description
Coniferous trees can take up mineral nutrients either non-symbiotically from nutrient-rich hotspots in the forest floor or via symbiosis with ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi; EcM symbiosis also enables the trees to obtain nutrients from organic substances. Excellent examples of nutrient-rich forest-floor hotspots are abandoned wood ant nests, which accumulate significant amounts of inorganic substances that are readily accessible to roots as well as organic substances that are not accessible to non-mycorrhizal roots. We examined the effects of substrates from abandoned nests of the wood ant Formica polyctena and EcM symbiosis on the growth of Norway spruce (Picea abies) seedlings. The tested substrates originated from the centers and rims of wet and dry ant nests, and from the surrounding forest floor. Aseptic spruce seedlings were grown in these substrates in a growth chamber, and after 7 months, seedling biomass, the chemical and microbiological properties of the substrates, and EcM colo
