Many introduced plant species rely on mutualisms in their new habitats to overcome barriers
to establishment and to become naturalized and, in some cases, invasive. Mutualisms …

A growing body of empirical work suggests that soil organisms can exert a strong role in
plant community dynamics and may contribute to the coexistence of plant species. Some of …

White biotechnology, or industrial biotechnology, is drawing much attention as a solution to
produce energy, chemicals and other materials from renewable resources. White …

High variability in plant‐growth response to the presence of different mycorrhizal fungi can
be a major determinant of local plant species diversity. Multiple species of arbuscular …

Most ecologists are not card-carrying members of either individualistic or interdependent
guilds, but our perception of plant community organization, and the way we conduct …

A growing body of research on plant–microbe interactions in soil is contributing to the
development of a new, microbially based perspective on plant community ecology. Soil …

Soil aggregation and soil structure are fundamental properties of natural and managed
ecosystems. However, most of our knowledge on the role of plant species in soil …

Almost all natural plant communities contain arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). We
hypothesized that the species composition of AMF communities could have the potential to …

Although experiments show a positive association between vascular plant and arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) species richness, evidence from natural ecosystems is scarce …

Previous work has shown considerably enhanced soil fertility in agroecosystems managed
by organic farming as compared to conventional farming. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi …
