This $888,463 National Science Foundation project grant funds research at the University of Michigan to assess the contribution of nitrogen from soil organic matter on plant growth response to elevated carbon dioxide levels. Specifically, the award supports evaluating how trees potentially access nitrogen bound in soil organic matter using ectomycorrhizal fungi under field conditions. It also assesses how access to additional nitrogen from this source could increase net primary productivity,...
