Root systems are simultaneously colonized by multiple individuals of mycorrhizal fungi.
Intraspecific competitive interactions between fungal isolates are likely to affect both fungal …

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 …

Purpose Mycorrhizal interactions can drive plant productivity, diversity, and ecosystem
function; however, gaps remain in our understanding of interactions among plants and …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are integral to boreal and temperate forest ecosystem
functioning and nutrient cycling. ECM fungi, however, originate from diverse saprotrophic …

Plants and mycorrhizal fungi influence each other's abundance, diversity, and distribution.
How other biotic interactions affect the mycorrhizal symbiosis is less well understood …

Interactions of plants with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) may range along a broad
continuum from strong mutualism to parasitism, with mycorrhizal benefits received by the …

1. Competition strongly influences many species assemblages, but its role in mycorrhizal
fungal interactions is not well understood. We examined interactions among three …

The outcome of species interactions often depends on the environmental conditions under
which they occur. In this study, we tested how different soil moisture conditions affected the …

Competition is often considered a fundamental process influencing assemblage structure,
yet little is known about competition among ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi. Here, we examine …

A major gap in our understanding of biodiversity–ecosystem function relationships concerns
the role of intra‐and interspecific diversity of mycorrhizal fungi, which are critical for plant …
