Progress towards understanding the extent to which mycorrhizal fungi are involved in the
mobilization of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from natural substrates is reviewed here …

The loss of carbon from roots (rhizodeposition) and the consequent proliferation of
microorganisms in the surrounding soil, coupled with the physical presence of a root and …

Many trees form ectomycorrhizal symbiosis with fungi. During symbiosis, the tree roots
supply sugar to the fungi in exchange for nitrogen, and this process is critical for the nitrogen …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

The direct uptake of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) by plants has the potential to be a
primary Factor in ecosystem functioning and vegetation succession particularly in N-limiting …

Nitrogen (N) is a major element necessary for crop yield. In most plants, organic N is
primarily transported in the form of amino acids. Here, we show that amino acid permease 1 …

Forest ecosystems with low soil nitrogen (N) availability are characterized by direct
competition for this growth‐limiting resource between several players, ie various …

The roles of mycorrhiza in facilitating the acquisition and transfer of carbon (C) and nitrogen
(N) to adult orchids are poorly understood. Here, we employed isotopically labelled sources …

Mycorrhizae play a critical role in nutrient capture from soils. Arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM)
and ectomycorrhizae (EM) are the most important mycorrhizae in agricultural and natural …

In this study, we assessed whether a range of temperate grassland species showed
preferential uptake for different chemical forms of N, including inorganic N and a range of …
