Mycorrhizal networks, defined as a common mycorrhizal mycelium linking the roots of at
least two plants, occur in all major terrestrial ecosystems. This review discusses the recent …

Predominant frameworks for understanding plant ecology have an aboveground bias that
neglects soil micro-organisms. This is inconsistent with recent work illustrating the …

Feedback with soil biota is an important determinant of terrestrial plant diversity. However,
the factors regulating plant-soil feedback, which varies from positive to negative among plant …

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 …

The fungal symbionts forming ectomycorrhizas, as well as their associated bacteria, benefit
forest trees in a number of ways although the most important is enhancing soil nutrient …

Mycorrhizal associations, by which most land plants receive mineral nutrition, are diffuse
and often non-specific. A common mycorrhizal network is formed when fungal mycelia …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis is a widespread plant nutrition strategy in Australia,
especially in semiarid regions. This study aims to determine the diversity, community …

This new edition of Fungi in Ecosystem Processes continues the unique approach of
examining the roles of fungi from the perspective of ecosystem functions. It explores how …

Background and scope Plant communities and underlying soils undergo substantial,
coordinated shifts throughout ecosystem development. However, shifts in the composition …

Plants have been used by humans to treat diseases. Different plant species have been very
successful in treating different diseases. Helianthemum salicifolium (L.) Mill. was used as a …
