Ecosystem-bedrock interaction changes nutrient compartmentalization during early oxidative weathering

, 2019
Ecosystem-bedrock interactions power the biogeochemical cycles of Earth's shallow crust, supporting life, stimulating substrate transformation, and spurring evolutionary innovation.

Further advances in orchid mycorrhizal research [PDF]

, 2007
Orchid mycorrhizas are mutualistic interactions between fungi and members of the Orchidaceae, the world’s largest plant family. The majority of the world’s orchids are photosynthetic, a small number of species are myco-heterotrophic throughout their ...

Loss of dominant tree‐mycorrhizal mutualism increases soil fungal diversity and alters community structure

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Due to their mutualistic partnership with trees, mycorrhizal fungi are often important components of soil microbial communities. Mortality of tree hosts can have dramatic effects on mycorrhizal populations, but how these shifts impact the remaining soil microbial ...

An Introduction to Mycorrhizae [PDF]

The American Biology Teacher, 1991
BIOTECHNOLOGY can be defined as the controlled use of living organisms or their components for the benefit of mankind. One aspect of biotechnology involves the special relationships formed between certain fungi and plants, called mycorrhizae, which have been shown to dramatically enhance the establishment, growth, development and survival of plants ...

Congolese rhizospheric soils as a rich source of new plant growth-promoting endophytic Piriformospora isolates [PDF]

, 2017
In the last decade, there has been an increasing focus on the implementation of plant growth-promoting (PGP) organisms as a sustainable option to compensate for poor soil fertility conditions in developing countries.

The use of plant, bacterial and fungal resources in soil food webs of ecto‐ and arbuscular mycorrhiza‐dominated deciduous forests

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil food webs, driven by complex interactions among plants, microbes and invertebrates, are crucial for carbon and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. Over the last decade, it has become evident that forests dominated by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) or ...

Warming modulates soil multifunctionality through assembly processes and co‐occurrence patterns of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in drylands

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate warming poses a threat to the functionality of global dryland ecosystems, where arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) communities play a critical role in maintaining ecosystem stability and functioning.

Abiotic conditions along altitude shape plant‐fungal associations by influencing both fungal availability and association strength

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.
In a large‐scale field survey in Fennoscandia, we investigated how the selected fungal communities within different Bistorta vivipara plant compartments varied with altitude, respective to the available fungal species pool in the soil and surrounding plants.

The role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the bioprotection of ash gourd (Benincasa hispida) against damping off disease

Fundamental and Applied Agriculture, 2019
This experiment was aimed to determine the disease suppressive effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to control the damping off disease of ash gourd (Benincasa hispida) seedlings caused by Sclerotium rolfsii, Fusarium oxysporum and Rhizoctonia ...
