Interactions between communities of plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi shape
fundamental ecosystem properties. Experimental evidence suggests that compositional …

The benefits of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis between plants and fungi are
modulated by the functional characteristics of both partners. However, it is unknown to what …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF s) are important plant symbionts, but we know little about
the effects of plant taxonomic identity or functional group on the AMF community …

4. Most studies have used qualitative approaches to investigate AMF communities and only
a few have actually attempted to determine the relative abundance of various AMF types …

That arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi covary with plant communities is clear, and many
papers report nonrandom associations between symbiotic partners. However, these studies …

Although arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are obligate symbionts that can influence plant
growth, the magnitude and direction of these effects are highly variable within fungal genera …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are important root symbionts that can provide benefits to
plant hosts, yet we understand little about how neighboring hosts in a plant community …

Little is known about the response of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities to
ecosystem development. We use a long‐term soil chronosequence that includes ecosystem …

To date, few analyses of mutualistic networks have investigated successional or seasonal
dynamics. Combining interaction data from multiple time points likely creates an inaccurate …

Recent research has indicated the importance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in
mediating plant coexistence. Coarse-scale studies compare the effects of the presence …
