Abstract
⺠We link fungal communities to different enzymatic decay processes in soil. ⺠We quantify environmental drivers of ectomycorrhizal and saprotroph communities. ⺠Saprotrophic fungi determine decay of carbon- and phosphorus-rich molecules. ⺠Ectomycorrhizal fungi drive decay of complex nitrogen molecules in soil. ⺠Ectomycorrhizal root tips contribute little to total enzymatic activity in soil.
