Carbon and nutrient fluxes within and between mycorrhizal plants

SW Simard, MD Jones, DM Durall - Mycorrhizal ecology, 2003 - Springer
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) …

Resource transfer between plants through ectomycorrhizal fungal networks

S Simard, A Asay, K Beiler, M Bingham, J Deslippe… - Mycorrhizal …, 2015 - Springer
Carbon (C), nutrients and water (H 2 O) have been known for five decades to flow between
