Mycorrhizal diversity: cause and effect?
G Kernaghan - Pedobiologia, 2005 - Elsevier
Mycorrhizal fungi play a critical role in nutrient cycling and ecosystem function. They improve
plant growth and survival through a mutualistic relationship in which photosynthates are …

Mycorrhizal ecology: synthesis and perspectives
MGA Van der Heijden, IR Sanders - Mycorrhizal ecology, 2002 - Springer
There is an increasing awareness among ecologists and mycorrhizologists that mycorrhizal
fungi are an integral part of ecosystems and that, therefore, their ecological function needs to …

Diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and ecosystem functioning
MM Hart, JN Klironomos - Mycorrhizal ecology, 2003 - Springer
In this chapter, we review recent literature pertaining to the debate linking biodiversity and
ecosystem functioning, highlighting the role of arbuscular mycorrhizae. We suggest that the …

Mycorrhizal fungi and their multifunctional roles
RD Finlay - Mycologist, 2004 - cambridge.org
The effects of mycorrhizal fungi have traditionally been considered within the rather narrow
perspective of their effects on the mineral nutrition of individual plants. Most biologists are …

How do plants regulate the function, community structure, and diversity of mycorrhizal fungi?
In many semi-natural and natural ecosystems, mycorrhizal fungi are the most abundant and
functionally important group of soil micro-organisms. They are almost wholly dependent on …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in roots and soil respond differently to biotic and abiotic factors in the Serengeti
This study explores the relationships of AM fungal abundance and diversity with biotic (host
plant, ungulate grazing) and abiotic (soil properties, precipitation) factors in the Serengeti …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi as a determinant of plant diversity: in search of underlying mechanisms and general principles
MGA Van Der Heijden - Mycorrhizal ecology, 2002 - Springer
The species composition and diversity of AMF communities also affects the structure,
composition and diversity of plant population and communities. The available evidence is …

Different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi alter coexistence and resource distribution between co-occurring plant.
MGA Heijden, A Wiemken, IR Sanders - 2003 - cabidigitallibrary.org
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 …

Phylogenetic and trait-based assembly of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities
H Maherali, JN Klironomos - PloS one, 2012 - journals.plos.org
Both competition and environmental filtering are expected to influence the community
structure of microbes, but there are few tests of the relative importance of these processes …
