Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 394–407 Abstract Mycorrhizal fungi influence plant growth, local
biodiversity and ecosystem function. Effects of the symbiosis on plants span the continuum …

The continued use of chemical fertilizers and manures for enhanced soil fertility and crop
productivity often results in unexpected harmful environmental effects, including leaching of …

Mycorrhizal phenotypes arise from interactions among plant and fungal genotypes and the
environment. Differences in the stoichiometry and uptake capacity of fungi and plants make …

Rhizosphere priming is the change in decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) caused by
root activity. Rhizosphere priming plays a crucial role in soil carbon (C) dynamics and their …

The identification of plant functional traits that can be linked to ecosystem processes is of
wide interest, especially for predicting vegetational responses to climate change. Root …

Publisher Summary In this chapter, the advances that have been made in understanding the
ecology of the mineral nutrition of wild plants from terrestrial ecosystems have been …

Despite the fact that arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) associations are among the most ancient,
abundant and important symbioses in terrestrial ecosystems, there are currently few unifying …

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 …

The role of mycorrhizal fungi in acquisition of mineral nutrients by host plants is examined for
three groups of mycorrhizas. These are; the ectomycorrhizas (ECM), the ericoid mycorrhizas …
