This study tested whether N addition decreases ECM species richness and shifts ECM species composition across spatial scales in a subtropical slash pine (Pinus elliottii) plantation in Hunan China (113°02 '-03' E, 28°06 '-07' N). %G English %[ 2023-11-06 %9 Masters Thesis %~ Arch : Northwestern University Institutional Repository %W Northwestern
