Significance of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi for Acacia: A Review

Pakistan Journal of Biological Sciences, 2020
Microbes play a vital role in ecosystem stability. Here, microbes-Acacia association is discussed with particular reference to Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) which help in the establishment of crop-plants, especially in arid and semi-arid areas.

Plant functional groups and root traits are linked to exudation rates of mature temperate trees

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Root exudation affects soil biogeochemistry profoundly, yet it is rarely quantified in mature, field‐grown trees and its controls are poorly understood. We measured rates of carbon (C) exudation in 11 tree species that exhibit divergent root traits, including ...

Developmental plasticity drives converge nt shifts in phosphorus acquisition strategies towards root phosphatase activity in Moso bamboo under nitrogen addition

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition is a major driver of global change. However, its effects on the developmental plasticity of plant nutrient strategies remain poorly understood.

Cellular anatomy of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

Current Biology
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are ancient plant mutualists that are ubiquitous across terrestrial ecosystems. These fungi are unique among most eukaryotes because they form multinucleate, open-pipe mycelial networks, where nutrients, organelles, and chemical signals move bidirectionally across a continuous cytoplasm. AM fungi play a crucial role in

The role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the competition between invasive and native plants depends on the soil nitrogen form

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant invasion and nitrogen (N) deposition are escalating global change threats. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are increasingly recognized as critical mediators of plant invasion success, largely through their role in enhancing host nutrient acquisition.

Single nucleus genome sequencing reveals high similarity among nuclei of an endomycorrhizal fungus.

PLoS Genetics, 2014
Nuclei of arbuscular endomycorrhizal fungi have been described as highly diverse due to their asexual nature and absence of a single cell stage with only one nucleus. This has raised fundamental questions concerning speciation, selection and transmission

Organ‐specific ozone and nitrogen legacies strengthen substrate control over litter decomposition

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Elevated tropospheric ozone (O3) and nitrogen (N) deposition are concurrent atmospheric changes that strongly influence terrestrial carbon cycling, yet their combined effects on below‐ground decomposition remain poorly understood.

Soil legacy effects on a temperate tree species depend on the mycorrhizal types and phylogenetic distance of the conditioning trees

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Associations of trees with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi often shape distinct microbial communities in soils. Whether this distinction can create different soil legacies and to what extent such legacies are correlated to phylogenetic ...

Harvesting benefits: Exploring the effects of second‐best policies on enhancing soil organic carbon stocks in agriculture

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural subsidies can be an effective policy tool to enhance soil organic carbon sequestration. This paper assesses the effectiveness of a second‐best hypothetical policy which subsidizes additional canola hectares optimally for each soil zone in Saskatchewan in an effort to increase soil organic carbon.
