A common mycorrhizal network (CMN) is formed when mycorrhizal fungal hyphae connect
the roots of multiple plants of the same or different species belowground. Recently, CMNs …

Plant growth is usually constrained by the availability of nutrients, water, or temperature,
rather than photosynthetic carbon (C) fixation. Under these conditions leaf growth is …

Dual‐mycorrhizal plants are capable of associating with fungi that form characteristic
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EM) structures. Here, we address the …

The supply of nitrogen commonly limits plant production in boreal forests and also affects
species composition and ecosystem functions other than plant growth. These interrelations …

Photosynthetic carbon (C) allocated below‐ground can be shared with mycorrhizal fungi in
exchange for nutrients, but also added into soil as rhizodeposits that potentially increases …

Trait‐based approaches provide a useful framework to investigate plant strategies for
resource acquisition, growth, and competition, as well as plant impacts on ecosystem …

Roots of forest trees are colonized by a diverse spectrum of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungal
species differing in their nitrogen (N) acquisition abilities. Here, we hypothesized that root N …

Under prolonged drought and reduced photosynthesis, plants consume stored nonstructural
carbohydrates (NSCs). Stored NSC depletion may impair the regulation of plant water …

Multiple ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) compete to colonise the roots of a host plant, but it is
not known whether their success is under plant or fungal control, or a combination of both …

Ectomycorrhizal symbiosis between roots and fungi is founded on the movement of carbon
from plants to fungi, and of soil resources from fungi to plants. Framing this movement as a …
