Role of plant–fungal nutrient trading and host control in determining the competitive success of ectomycorrhizal fungi
Multiple ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) compete to colonise the roots of a host plant, but it is
not known whether their success is under plant or fungal control, or a combination of both …

Inorganic nitrogen availability alters Eucalyptus grandis receptivity to the ectomycorrhizal fungus Pisolithus albus but not symbiotic nitrogen transfer
Forest trees are able to thrive in nutrient‐poor soils in part because they obtain growth‐

Competitive interactions among three ectomycorrhizal fungi and their relation to host plant performance
1. Competition strongly influences many species assemblages, but its role in mycorrhizal
fungal interactions is not well understood. We examined interactions among three …

Host plant quality mediates competition between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi exchange soil nutrients for carbon from plant hosts. Empirical
works suggests that hosts may selectively provide resources to different fungal species …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi and interspecific competition: species interactions, community structure, coexistence mechanisms, and future research directions
P Kennedy - New Phytologist, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
The field of ectomycorrhizal fungal (EMF) ecology has largely developed outside the
ecological mainstream, owing in large part to the challenges in studying the structure and …
