Dual‐mycorrhizal plants: their ecology and relevance
Dual‐mycorrhizal plants are capable of associating with fungi that form characteristic
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EM) structures. Here, we address the …

Leaf manganese accumulation and phosphorus-acquisition efficiency
Plants that deploy a phosphorus (P)-mobilising strategy based on the release of
carboxylates tend to have high leaf manganese concentrations ([Mn]). This occurs because …

How belowground interactions contribute to the coexistence of mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal species in severely phosphorus-impoverished hyperdiverse …
Background Mycorrhizal strategies are very effective in enhancing plant acquisition of poorly-
mobile nutrients, particularly phosphorus (P) from infertile soil. However, on very old and …

Phosphorus limitation, soil‐borne pathogens and the coexistence of plant species in hyperdiverse forests and shrublands
Hyperdiverse forests occur in the lowland tropics, whereas the most species‐rich shrublands
are found in regions such as south‐western Australia (kwongan) and South Africa (fynbos) …

Fungal diversity regulates plant-soil feedbacks in temperate grassland
Feedbacks between plants and soil microbial communities play an important role in
vegetation dynamics, but the underlying mechanisms remain unresolved. Here, we show …

Phosphorus nutrition in Proteaceae and beyond
Proteaceae in southwestern Australia have evolved on some of the most phosphorus-
impoverished soils in the world. They exhibit a range of traits that allow them to both acquire …
