Data from project on labelled fungal necromass addition and paper "Necromass of diverse root-associated fungi suppresses decomposition of native soil carbon via impacts of their traits"

Data from trait assessment and incubation experiment. This project investigated the impact of fungal necromass addition on the cycling of native organic carbon and the relationships of these impacts with fungal traits. We used C isotopic labelled fungal biomass of 14 species, to incubate it in soil under controlled conditions. We separately assessed fungal traits in in-vitro conditions.

This data sets contains one Excel spread sheet recording data from soil incubation, CO2 production from decomposition of fungal carbon and soil organic carbon, fitted parameters of exponential decay, and various measurements of chemical and physiological traits of the fungal species used.
