Dual‐mycorrhizal plants are capable of associating with fungi that form characteristic
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EM) structures. Here, we address the …

Globally, phosphorus (P) limits productivity of trees in many forests and plantations
especially in highly weathered, acidic or calcareous profiles. Most trees form mycorrhizal …

Mycorrhizal fungi are involved in the uptake of nutrients in exchange for C from host plants,
and possibly in the transfer of C and nutrients between plants. Ecto-mycorrhizal fungi (EMF) …

Phosphorus (P) is essential for plant growth and productivity. It is one of the most limiting
macronutrients in soil because it is mainly present as unavailable, bound P whereas plants …

Many forest trees have evolved mutualistic symbioses with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi that
contribute to their phosphorus (P) nutrition. Forest productivity is frequently limited by P, a …

Roots of most terrestrial plants are colonized by symbiotic mycorrhizal fungi. These fungi
confer various benefits to their hosts under phosphorus (P) limitation and other stress …

Basidiomycete mycelia are ubiquitous in forest soils where they fulfil a range of key
ecological functions. Population studies, based largely on basidiome collections, indicate …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi form mutualistic symbioses with many tree species and are
regarded as key organisms in nutrient and carbon cycles in forest ecosystems. Our …

The vast majority of terrestrial plants form some type of mycorrhizal association. In this
chapter, attention is focused on the most common and widespread types: arbuscular …
