Ecological predictors of plant responses to sequential herbivory: a meta‐analysis

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Plants evolved alongside herbivores for over 400 million years and show remarkable plasticity in responses to attack by multiple herbivores. However, it is often debated which herbivore traits predict plant responses and it is poorly understood how plant life‐history traits contribute to the variation observed in plant responses.

Dispersal, distribution and establishment of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi: a review

open access: yesBotan‪ical Sciences, 2002
The aim of this paper is to review and assess scientific literature relevant to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) population dynamics: reproduction and dispersal mechanisms, and establishment and distribution in natural ecosystems.

Low abundance of phytophagous nematodes under invasive exotic Pinus elliottii – enemy release and plant–soil feedbacks

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary According to the enemy release hypothesis (ERH), the fitness of exotic plants and their capacity to become invasive in their area of introduction may partly be attributable to the loss of their natural enemies. Invasive species may also benefit from modifying soil attributes and thereby creating a positive soil–plant feedback.

Presence of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Coastal Forest Based on The Salinity Gradients

open access: yesJurnal Ilmu Dasar, 2010
The role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi is very important in a coastal area with sandy soil, high salinity level and low available of phosphate. However, the salinity levels also affect the diversity and activities of mycorrhizal fungi.

Effect of salinity stress on mycorrhizal association and growth response of peanut infected by Glomus mosseae

open access: yesPlant, Soil and Environment, 2010
Arbuscular mycorrhiza is a mutualistic association between fungi and higher plants, and play a critical role in nutrient cycling and stress tolerance. However, much less is known about the mycorrhiza-mediated enhancement in growth and salinity tolerance ...

Leaf litter and fine roots have distinct effects on particulate and mineral‐associated soil organic matter in a tree common garden

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Soil organic matter (SOM) is primarily derived from leaf and root inputs, but the relative contributions of each are difficult to study without the use of isotopic tracers. Furthermore, associations between trees and mycorrhizal fungi can influence the production and persistence of SOM.

Fungal ecology in the age of 'omics

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The advancement of technology in recent decades has given us an unprecedented ability to observe the natural world. With modern sequencing and bioinformatics technologies, we can obtain more information about the microscopic world, and its interactions with the macroscopic world, than ever before.
