Publisher Summary Roots of most terrestrial plants form symbiotic associations with fungi.
Arbuscular mycorrhizas are widespread and abundant. They are formed by bryophytes …

While it is now widely accepted, even by ecologists, that most plants in the majority of
ecosystems are infected by mycorrhizal fungi, few experiments have been designed to …

summary Individual mycelia of filamentous fungi display considerable heterogeneity at the
physiological level. Important physiological processes such as nutrient absorption …

Mycorrhizal fungi occur in nearly all soils on earth and form a symbiotic relationship with
roots of most terrestrial plants. The mycorrhizal morphology is the basis for grouping them …

The major achievement of the first hundred years of research on the mycorrhizal symbiosis
is the observation that the symbiosis is almost universally present in natural communities of …

Interactions between soil acidification and ectomycorrhizal associations of forest trees are
reviewed, placing special emphasis, where appropriate, on recent Swedish research …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi exhibit high diversity even in small monoculture forests. Roughly 20 to
35 species typically occupy such sites. Explanations for this diversity can be based on …

Mycorrhizal fungi form complex communities in the root systems of most plant species and
are thought to be important in terrestrial ecosystem sustainability. We have reviewed the …

Interactions among mycorrhizal fungi, rhizosphere organisms, and plants Page 185 6
INTERACTIONS AMONG MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI, RHIZOSPHERE ORGANISMS, AND …

Extraradical mycelia of mycorrhizal fungi are normally the hidden half of the symbiosis, but
they are powerful underground influences upon biogeochemical cycling, the composition of …
