Molecular tools have now been applied for the past 5 years to dissect ectomycorrhizal (EM)
community structure, and they have propelled a resurgence in interest in the field. Results …

It is well known from laboratory studies that a single mycorrhizal fungal isolate can colonize
different plant species, form interplant linkages, and provide a conduit for interplant transfer …

The role of mycorrhizal fungi in acquisition of mineral nutrients by host plants is examined for
three groups of mycorrhizas. These are; the ectomycorrhizas (ECM), the ericoid mycorrhizas …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi are symbiotically associated microorganisms which ecological
importance has been repeatedly demonstrated. There has been a considerable amount of …

Nitrogen (N) is known to be transferred from fungus to plant in the arbuscular mycorrhizal
(AM) symbiosis, yet its metabolism, storage and transport are poorly understood.• In vitro …

The significance of the external mycelium of arbuscular mycorrhiza for uptake and transport
of N from 15N‐labelled nitrate in benefiting plant nutrition, was evaluated under either well …

As a result of increasing anthropogenic nitrogen deposition, N availability in many forest
ecosystems, which are normally N‐limited, has been enhanced. We discuss the impacts of …

During the vegetation periods 1994 and 1995, net uptake of nitrate and ammonium by roots
of adult spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst) and beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) trees was studied at a …

Mycorrhizal fungi are involved in the uptake of nutrients in exchange for C from host plants,
and possibly in the transfer of C and nutrients between plants. Ecto-mycorrhizal fungi (EMF) …

summary The growth of ten species of ectomycorrhizal fungi was measured in liquid media
containing different organic and inorganic nitrogen sources. All fungi grew well on …
