Effect of wood sawdust amendment on biomass and plant‐C incorporation by fungi, bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi. Concentration of total C and 13C excess in PLFA/NLFA markers are shown for fungi (A, B), bacteria (C, D) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (E, F) in unplanted soil (So) and carrot rhizosphere soil (Rhi). T1 and T2 represent 2‐ and 6‐weeks pre‐sowing incubation times of sawdust amendments. The value for bacterial PLFAs is obtained as a sum of PLFAs i15.0, ai15.0, i16.0, 16.1w7c, 16.1w6c, ai17.1w7, i17.0, 17.1w8c, cy‐17.0. 13C excess expresses the net amount of labelled C incorporated in a PLFA/NLFA as a result of pulse‐labelling and is obtained by subtracting the natural 13C abundance found for the same PLFA/NLFA in unlabeled rhizosphere samples.
