Abstract: [Study conducted in a heathland in Scotland. "This recurrent relocation of resource in a source-to-sink relationship is compelling evidence of recycling: of N allocated to structural and metabolically functional components of physiologically active cells within vegetative mycelium (and algal cells), subsequently remobilized and transported via cytoplasmic pathways into younger cells."
