It is often thought that the coexistence of plants and plant diversity is determined by resource
heterogeneity of the abiotic environment. However, the presence and heterogeneity of biotic …

Soil invertebrates and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi co-occur in all ecosystems of the
world. However, the interactions between these organisms are rarely studied. We present …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi form mutualistic symbioses with many tree species and are
regarded as key organisms in nutrient and carbon cycles in forest ecosystems. Our …

The mycorrhizal symbiosis formed between plant roots and the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)
fungi or Glomales is of great interest to ecologists because of its potential influence on …

The function of arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) is discussed in terms of reciprocal nutrient
exchange within single pairs of symbionts. Emphasis is on carbon and phosphate nutrition …

Symbionts called 'mycorrhizal fungi'occur in most biomes on earth, and are a fundamental
reason for plant growth and development on the planet. The most common group of …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are mutualistic symbiotic associations between 150
species of fungi and the roots of approximately 300 000 species of plants. As a result of this …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi dominate the humus layers of boreal forests. They depend on
carbohydrates that are translocated through roots, via fungal mycelium to microsites in the …

summary The nutrient mobilizing activities of mycelia of two ectomycorrhizal fungi, Suillus
bovinus (Fr.) O. Kuntze and Thelephora terrestris (Ehrh.), were investigated in transparent …
