The diversity of mycorrhizal fungi does not follow patterns of plant diversity, and the type of
mycorrhiza may regulate plant species diversity. For instance, coniferous forests of northern …

Understanding how communities assemble is a central goal of ecology. This is particularly
relevant for communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), because the community …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are of great ecological importance, since arbuscular
mycorrhiza (AM) is the most widespread plant symbiosis and often improves plant …

Background and aims Understanding the role of resource availability in structuring biotic
communities is of importance in community ecology. This study investigates how light and …

The Tansley review by Ryan & Graham (2018) provided a welcome critical perspective on
the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in large-scale industrial agriculture, with a …

Interactions between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and plants are essential
components of ecosystem functioning; however, they remain poorly known in dry …

Understanding the effects of different agricultural practices on the mycorrhizal symbiosis is
important for agricultural production and the sustainable use of soil. We investigated the …

Almost all natural plant communities contain arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). We
hypothesized that the species composition of AMF communities could have the potential to …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can confer protection to host plants against some root
pathogens, and several mechanisms for these phenomena have been proposed. If AM …

Communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are crucial for promoting plant
productivity in most terrestrial systems, including anthropogenically managed ecosystems …
