Arbuscular Mycorrhiza — a Key Component of Sustainable Plant-Soil Ecosystems (2012, background): “that not all plants form AM associations and that not all plants that form AM associations obtain nutritional benefits from AM fungi under all growth conditions (O’Connor et al. 2002).”
Comparisons of Mycorrhizal Responsiveness with Field Soil and Commercial Inoculum for Six Native Montane Species and Bromus tectorum (2007, background): “AMF may be a significant factor in success of some invasive plants (Marler et al. 1999; O’Connor et al. 2002; Carey et al. 2004; Jin et al. 2004; Fitter 2005).”
Neighboring plant influences on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community composition as assessed by T-RFLP analysis (2005, background): “AMF community composition has also been shown to influence competitive relationships between co-occurring plant species (O’Connor et al., 2002; van der Heijden et al., 1998, 2003).”
The vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis (2003, background): “Mycorrhizal colonization, however, was reduced in field plots through applications of the fungicide benomyl as a soil drench (O’Connor et al., 2002).”
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and organic farming (2006, background): “Rhizoctonia solani Root and stem rots Mung b Aphanomyces euteiches Root rot Pea (Pis of selectivity between the host and the fungi and that different AMF have varying effects on different plant species, from strongly positive increases in nutrient uptake and or growth to strongly negative (Monzon an”
Mycorrhizal feedbacks generate positive frequency dependence accelerating grassland succession (2018, result): “However, other studies have found that in undisturbed environments with a dominance of late successional plant species, removal of AM fungi may allow minority early successional species to increase, thereby increasing plant diversity (Hartnett & Wilson, 1999; O’connor et al., 2002).”
Plant performance in stressful environments: interpreting new and established knowledge of the roles of arbuscular mycorrhizas (2009, background): “In contrast, where the dominants are highly positively AM-responsive, the presence of AM fungi may result in suppression of the subordinates by the larger dominants and hence reduced diversity (O’Connor et al. 2002).”
Ecological and functional roles of mycorrhizas in semi-arid ecosystems of Southeast Spain (2011, background): “…et al., 1998); (ii) the mycorrhizal dependency of the plant species involved (Hart and Klironomos, 2002; Kennedy et al., 2007; Read, 1998); and (iii) the structure of the individual plant species within the community (O’Connor et al., 2002; van der Heijden, 2002; van der Heijden et al., 2006).”
Impact of Land Use Intensity on the Species Diversity of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Agroecosystems of Central Europe (2003, background): “Not only their presence but also their genetic and functional diversities are of importance: AMF diversity can be decisive for both plant community structure and ecosystem productivity (3, 4, 9, 28, 41, 54, 55).”
