Positive citation bias and overinterpreted results lead to misinformation on common mycorrhizal networks in forests
J Karst, MD Jones, JD Hoeksema - Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2023 - nature.com
A common mycorrhizal network (CMN) is formed when mycorrhizal fungal hyphae connect
the roots of multiple plants of the same or different species belowground. Recently, CMNs …

Mechanisms of stress tolerance and their effects on the ecology and evolution of mycorrhizal fungi
Stress is ubiquitous and disrupts homeostasis, leading to damage, decreased fitness, and
even death. Like other organisms, mycorrhizal fungi evolved mechanisms for stress …
