Extraradical mycelia of mycorrhizal fungi are normally the hidden half of the symbiosis, but
they are powerful underground influences upon biogeochemical cycling, the composition of …

Research on the mycorrhizal associations over the past several decades has yielded
increased understanding and appreciation of the important role of this symbiosis in the …

Different symbiotic mycorrhizal associations between plants and fungi occur, almost
ubiquitously, in a wide range of terrestrial ecosystems. Historically, these have mainly been …

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 …

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 …

In many semi-natural and natural ecosystems, mycorrhizal fungi are the most abundant and
functionally important group of soil micro-organisms. They are almost wholly dependent on …

Vegetation impacts on ecosystem functioning are mediated by mycorrhizas, plant–fungal
associations formed by most plant species. Ecosystems dominated by distinct mycorrhizal …

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

Mycorrhizal fungi play a critical role in nutrient cycling and ecosystem function. They improve
plant growth and survival through a mutualistic relationship in which photosynthates are …

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) …
