Different plant species can be compatible with the same species of mycorrhizal fungi and be connected to one another by a common mycelium. Transfer of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus through interconnecting mycelia has been measured frequently in laboratory experiments, but it is not known whether transfer is bidirectional, whether there is a net gain by one plant over its connected partner, or whether transfer affects plant performance in the field. Laboratory studies using isotope tracers show that the magnitude of one-way transfer can be influenced by shading of \u2018receiver\u2019 plants fertilization of \u2018donor\u2019 plants with phosphorus, or use of nitrogen-fixing donor plants and non-nitrogen-fixing receiver plants indicating that movement may be governed by source\u2013sink relationships. Here we use reciprocal isotope labelling in the field to demonstrate bidirectional carbon transfer between the ectomycorrhizal tree species Betula papyrifera<\/em> and Pseudotsuga menziesii<\/em>, resulting in net carbon gain by P. menziesii<\/em>. Thuja plicata<\/em> seedlings lacking ectomycorrhizae absorb small amounts of isotope, suggesting that carbon transfer between B. papyrifera<\/em> and P. menziesii<\/em> is primarily through the direct hyphal pathway. Net gain by P. menziesii<\/em> seedlings represents on average 6% of carbon isotope uptake through photosynthesis. The magnitude of net transfer is influenced by shading of P. menziesii<\/em>, indicating that source\u2013sink relationships regulate such carbon transfer under field conditions.<\/p>\n

\nUBC Okanagan Classroom Artwork Project <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The University of British Columbia Okanagan Classroom Artwork Project<\/em> aims to display academically inspiring artwork in classrooms and other teaching areas of the university.<\/span><\/p>\n

Artwork displayed as part of this project \u2013 including the covers of books and journals containing work written or edited by UBCO scholars and researchers \u2013 is intended to help enliven university teaching spaces, educate classroom users about the connections between research and teaching, and introduce members of the broader public to some of the research and scholarship carried out at UBCO.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nHow to Submit Artwork <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

If you know of other book or journal covers, or other academically inspiring artwork that is connected to work carried out by UBCO artists, scholars or researchers and that is consistent with UBCO\u2019s educational mission, please email your suggestions to classroom.artwork@ubc.ca<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0UBC Okanagan Classroom Artwork Project<\/em>\u00a0began in 2019 with support from the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences. It is now a joint project of UBCO\u2019s Faculties and the Office of the Provost.<\/p>\n
