Symbiosis with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi is an advantageous partnership for trees in
nutrient-limited environments. Ectomycorrhizal fungi colonize the roots of their hosts and …

The extent to which ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi enable plants to access organic nitrogen
(N) bound in soil organic matter (SOM) and transfer this growth‐limiting nutrient to their plant …

Ectomycorrhizal symbiosis between roots and fungi is founded on the movement of carbon
from plants to fungi, and of soil resources from fungi to plants. Framing this movement as a …

The mutualistic symbiosis between forest trees and ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) is among
the most ubiquitous and successful interactions in terrestrial ecosystems. Specific species of …

The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis, which forms between plant hosts and
ubiquitous soil fungi of the phylum Glomeromycota, plays a key role for the nutrient uptake of …

The fungal symbionts forming ectomycorrhizas, as well as their associated bacteria, benefit
forest trees in a number of ways although the most important is enhancing soil nutrient …

Ectomycorrhizal symbiosis is essential for the nutrition of most temperate forest trees and
helps regulate the movement of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) through forested ecosystems …

Forest trees are able to thrive in nutrient‐poor soils in part because they obtain growth‐
limiting nutrients, especially nitrogen (N), through mutualistic symbiosis with ectomycorrhizal …

Symbioses between plant roots and mycorrhizal fungi are thought to enhance plant uptake
of nutrients through a favourable exchange for photosynthates. Ectomycorrhizal fungi are …

Trees can be associated with dozens of fungi helping them to acquire resources from forest
soils. The most widespread mutualistic association in boreal and temperate forests is the …
