The widely observed positive relationship between plant diversity and ecosystem
functioning is thought to be substantially driven by complementary resource use of plant …

Plant diversity and plant-related ecosystem functions have been important in biodiversity-
ecosystem functioning studies. However, biotic interactions with mycorrhizal fungi have …

Mycorrhizal fungi with different nutrient acquisition strategies influence plant species
performance and physiology, thereby defining their trophic niche. This might drive resource …

As the diversity of plants increases in an ecosystem, so does resource competition for soil
nutrients, a process that mycorrhizal fungi can mediate. The influence of mycorrhizal fungi …

Decades of theory and empirical studies have demonstrated links between biodiversity and
ecosystem functioning, yet the putative processes that underlie these patterns remain …

Higher species diversity can improve community performance within a species guild when
different species complement each other in their use of the available niche, such as through …

Association of plants with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi may act as either an equalizing
or a stabilizing mechanism of coexistence, but the effect of the symbiosis likely depends on …

Diversity–biomass relationships (DBRs) often vary with spatial scale in terrestrial
ecosystems, but the mechanisms driving these scale‐dependent patterns remain unclear …

Tree species are known to predominantly interact either with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) or
ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding whether these …

Background The diversity of plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) has been
experimentally shown to alter plant and AMF productivity. However, little is known about how …
