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 …

Almost all land plants form symbiotic associations with mycorrhizal fungi. These below‐
ground fungi play a key role in terrestrial ecosystems as they regulate nutrient and carbon …

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 …

There is an increasing awareness among ecologists and mycorrhizologists that mycorrhizal
fungi are an integral part of ecosystems and that, therefore, their ecological function needs to …

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 …

A great diversity of plants and fungi engage in mycorrhizal associations. In natural habitats,
and in an ecologically meaningful time span, these associations have evolved to improve …

In this chapter, we review recent literature pertaining to the debate linking biodiversity and
ecosystem functioning, highlighting the role of arbuscular mycorrhizae. We suggest that the …

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 …

An unprecedented, rapid change in environmental conditions is being observed, which
invariably overrules the adaptive capacity of land plants. These environmental changes …
