Beyond seedlings: Ectomycorrhizal fungal networks and growth of mature Pseudotsuga menziesii

JD Birch, SW Simard, KJ Beiler, J Karst - Journal of ecology, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Mycorrhizal networks are conduits for the transfer of resources between hosts. While
ectomycorrhizal networks (EMN) are known to influence seedlings, their effect on adult tree …

Mycorrhizal networks affect ectomycorrhizal fungal community similarity between conspecific trees and seedlings

MA Bingham, SW Simard - Mycorrhiza, 2012 - Springer
Abstract Ectomycorrhizal (EM) networks (MN) are thought to be an important mode of EM

Access to mycorrhizal networks and roots of trees: importance for seedling survival and resource transfer

FP Teste, SW Simard, DM Durall, RD Guy, MD Jones… - Ecology, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Mycorrhizal networks (MNs) are fungal hyphae that connect roots of at least two plants. It has
been suggested that these networks are ecologically relevant because they may facilitate …

The role of ectomycorrhizal networks in seedling establishment and primary succession

K Nara - Mycorrhizal networks, 2015 - Springer
In developed forests and secondary successional sites, host plants can readily access
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi because of the ubiquitous ECM mycelia and spores in soil, but …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) association of fungi with plants involves diverse category of fungi.
They form a mutualistic association with the host plant, nourishing them with minerals and …

Role of mycorrhizal networks in dry Douglas-fir forests

FP Teste - 2008 - open.library.ubc.ca
Mycorrhizal networks (MNs) are fungal hyphae that connect the roots of at least two plants,
potentially providing a conduit for interplant resource transfer. Interior Douglas-fir …

Mycorrhizal associations and the spatial structure of an old-growth forest community

DJ Johnson, K Clay, RP Phillips - Oecologia, 2018 - Springer
Plant-soil feedbacks are known to play a central role in species co-existence, but conceptual
frameworks for predicting their magnitude and direction are lacking. We ask whether co …

Forest tree growth is linked to mycorrhizal fungal composition and function across Europe

MA Anthony, TW Crowther, S Van Der Linde… - The ISME …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Most trees form symbioses with ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) which influence access to
growth-limiting soil resources. Mesocosm experiments repeatedly show that EMF species …

KJ Beiler, SW Simard, DM Durall - Journal of Ecology, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
From the phytocentric perspective, a mycorrhizal network (MN) is formed when the roots of
two or more plants are colonized by the same fungal genet. MN s can be modelled as …
