  Fungal Community Diversity and Composition are Determined by the Trade-off between Nutrient Deposition and Retrieval along the Forest Chronosequence

  Fungal adaptation to nutrient cyclings of vegetations is observed along forest chronosequence. However, the mechanisms behind plant-fungus interactions in controlling carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) acquisition and allocation need to be uncovered.
