Mycorrhizae play a critical role in nutrient capture from soils. Arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM)
and ectomycorrhizae (EM) are the most important mycorrhizae in agricultural and natural …

Aims Mycorrhizas (fungal roots) play vital roles in plant nutrient acquisition, performance and
productivity in terrestrial ecosystems. Arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM) and ectomycorrhizas …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play an essential role for the nutrient uptake of the
majority of land plants, including many important crop species. The extraradical mycelium of …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are ubiquitous in soil and form nutritional symbioses
with~ 80% of vascular plant species, which significantly impact global carbon (C) and …

Nitrogen availability often restricts primary productivity in terrestrial ecosystems. Arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi are ubiquitous symbionts of terrestrial plants and can improve plant …

Nitrogen (N) is the most abundant mineral nutrient required by plants, and crop productivity
depends heavily on N fertilization in many soils. Production and application of N fertilizers …

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), ectomycorrhiza (ECM) and nitrogen (N) fixation through
rhizobia symbioses (RS) play a critical role for plant nutrient use efficiency in natural …

Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form mutualistic symbioses with c. two-
thirds of all land plants. Traditionally, it was thought that they played no role in nitrogen (N) …

Summary 1 Relationships between mycorrhizal plants and soil nitrogen (N) have led to the
speculation that the chemistry of plant litter and the saprotrophy of mycorrhizal symbionts …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi associated with plant roots play important roles in facilitating
plant nutrient uptake. Ectomycorrhizal trees obtain soil nitrogen (N) through the direct root …
