Mycorrhizal symbioses are complex relationships between plants and fungi that significantly
affect ecosystem dynamics and functions across terrestrial environments. These symbiotic …

Almost all land plants form symbiotic associations with mycorrhizal fungi. These below‐
ground fungi play a key role in terrestrial ecosystems as they regulate nutrient and carbon …

Scientists working on plant symbioses have known for more than a century that mycorrhizal
fungi take central stage in terrestrial ecosystems. Over the last 50years, several leading …

Mycorrhizas are among the most important biological interkingdom interactions, as they
involve~ 340,000 land plants and~ 50,000 taxa of soil fungi. In these mutually beneficial …

Mycorrhizal fungi are found in almost all ecosystems of the planet. They interact with a
majority of plant species, and it seems that every single aspect of the life history of a plant …

Symbiotic interactions between plants and mycorrhizal fungi have a major impact on plant
growth, development and evolution. Among them, the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis …

Mycorrhizas are mutualistic interactions that the majority of land plants establish with a
heterogeneous group of soil fungi. Although the pattern of root colonization can be very …

Mycorrhizal symbioses between plants and fungi are vital for the soil structure, nutrient
cycling, plant diversity, and ecosystem sustainability. More than 250 000 plant species are …

Over 30 years have passed since David Read's observation that biome-level patterns in
mycorrhizal dominance parallel distinct gradients in soil organic matter and nitrogen …
