Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbiosis occurs between obligate biotrophic fungi of the
phylum Glomeromycota and most land plants. The exchange of nutrients between host …

Ecologists are increasingly adopting trait-based approaches to understand how community
change influences ecosystem processes. However, most of this research has focussed on …

Despite widespread anthropogenic nutrient enrichment, it remains unclear how nutrient
enrichment influences plant–arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) symbiosis and ecosystem …

Mycorrhizal phenotypes arise from interactions among plant and fungal genotypes and the
environment. Differences in the stoichiometry and uptake capacity of fungi and plants make …

Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form mutualistic symbioses with c. two-
thirds of all land plants. Traditionally, it was thought that they played no role in nitrogen (N) …

The synergistic effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculation and biochar
application on plant growth and heavy metal uptake remain unclear. A pot experiment was …

Despite the growing appreciation for the functional diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)
fungi, our understanding of the causes and consequences of this diversity is still poor. In this …

Plants and their arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal symbionts interact in complex underground
networks involving multiple partners. This increases the potential for exploitation and …

Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 394–407 Abstract Mycorrhizal fungi influence plant growth, local
biodiversity and ecosystem function. Effects of the symbiosis on plants span the continuum …

Humans have dramatically increased atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition globally. At the
coarsest resolution, N deposition is correlated with shifts from ectomycorrhizal (EcM) to …
