Abstract
⺠First application of DNA-SIP to trace carbon from decomposing mycorrhizal mycelium. ⺠Carbon from ectomycorrhizal necromass is incorporated into fungal DNA within 7 days. ⺠13C NMR analyses suggests dead mycelium is rapidly turned over. ⺠DNA-SIP revealed a dynamic community of functionally active soil fungi. ⺠Dead mycelium is an important source of labile carbon for soil microorganisms.
