summary The relationships between colonization of fermentation horizon organic matter
(FHOM) by an ectomycorrhizal fungus and the activities of enzymes involved in key …

Ectomycorrhizal (EcM) and saprotrophic fungi interact in the breakdown of organic matter,
but the mechanisms underlying the EcM role on organic matter decomposition are not totally …

Mycorrhizal fungi are specialised root symbionts, engaging in intimate association with a
great variety of plants. Although the association is generally assumed to be mutualistic, with …

The concept of mycorrhizal specificity and consequent effects on plant community
development and management is reviewed. Six specificity phenomena are recognized and …

Soil microbial communities play crucial roles in the earth's biogeochemical cycles. Yet, their
genomic potential for nutrient cycling in association with tree mycorrhizal type and tree-tree …

Mycorrhizal associations vary widely in structure and function, but the most ubiquitous
interaction is the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis. This interaction forms between the …

Symbiosis between plant roots and fungi is termed 'mycorrhiza'(Frank 2005). In this thesis,
mycorrhizal symbiosis is viewed as reciprocal parasitism that results in mutualistic to …

Plant nutrient acquisition strategies involving ectomycorrhizal (EcM) and arbuscular
mycorrhizal (AM) associations, are key plant functional traits leading to distinct carbon (C) …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal and ectomycorrhizal symbioses are among the most important
drivers of terrestrial ecosystem dynamics. Historically, the two types of symbioses have been …

Arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM) are the most widely spread type of fungal plant-root symbiosis,
and the zygomycetes involved in these associations are often the most abundant fungi …
