TL;DR

It is suggested that a full understanding of AMF–plant interactions requires accounting for the complexities of nutrient economy mechanisms, and joint assessment of AMF community diversity and plant functional traits or groups enables us to disentangle these mechanisms in semi-arid grasslands.

Effects of plant species identity and foliar herbivory on root morphological traits and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal symbiosis

Empirical evidence is provided that foliar herbivory modifies root traits and restructures rhizosphere AMF communities, and a new framework is proposed to explore the complex tripartite interactions among insects, host plants, and AMF symbiosis.

Responses of rhizosphere fungi to elevational gradients: distinct diversity and specialization of mycorrhizal and plant-pathogenic fungi in subalpine forests

Rhizosphere microbes are closely associated with forest community diversity and ecosystem functioning. Yet, how different rhizosphere fungal guilds and their interactions with host trees respond to environmental change remains poorly understood. To address this gap, we collected rhizosphere soil from 429 plant indivi...

Diversity–productivity relationships in ericaceous plants are influenced by interactions with ericoid mycorrhizal fungi

Abstract The positive effect of plant diversity on ecosystem productivity is among the most widespread trends in ecosystem ecology. Most studies suggest that niche differences (complementarity) play a significant role in shaping these effects. As most plant species require mutualistic mycorrhizal fungi to access limiti...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi spore density and species diversity varied within plants species and between dry Afromontane forests in northwestern Ethiopia

The objective of this study was to determine the AMF spore density and species diversity associated to the dominant plant species in Aradie and Zengena dry Afromontane forests and to use these plant species and AMF species associated to them in the rehabilitation and restoration of dry Afromontane forests.

Plant invader alters root fungal microbiome, physiology and biomass allocation in native understory species

Plant invaders that produce novel antimicrobial compounds can alter local soil properties and below‐ground microbial communities, including both arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and pathogenic fungi. Such changes can inhibit the critical nutritional mutualism between native plants and AM fungi and in turn influence the acqu...
