Mycorrhizal fungi and their multifunctional roles (2004, positive): “Recent experiments by Högberg et al. (2001) used girdling of forest trees to distinguish the relative contributions of roots and ectomycorrhizal fungi and free-living microbial heterotrophs (decomposers) to soil respiration.”
The unseen majority: soil microbes as drivers of plant diversity and productivity in terrestrial ecosystems. (2008, result): “Some recent studies have also shown that AM fungi can contribute to enhanced N-acquisition under some conditions (Hodge et al. 2001).”
Dominant plant species shift their nitrogen uptake patterns in response to nutrient enrichment caused by a fungal fairy in an alpine meadow (2011, positive): “AMF are mainly associated with P uptake, but numerous studies suggest that they can participate in N acquisition by plants from OM (e.g., Hodge et al. 2001; He et al. 2003; Govindarajulu et al. 2005; Lambers et al. 2008; Hodge and Fitter 2010).”
Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Mediated Nutrition in Plants (2009, background): “, 1983), and therefore, likely enhance residue decomposition by stimulating the activity of saprophytic microbes (Hodge et al., 2001).”
Arbuscular mycorrhizae and terrestrial ecosystem processes (2004, background): “…mycorrhization-helper bacteria (Garbaye 1994), nitrogentransforming microbes (autotrophic ammonium oxidizers: Amora-Lazcano et al. 1998; saprobes: Hodge et al. 2001; Hodge 2001), bacteria involved in soil aggregation (see Case Study), and fungal root pathogens (e.g. Newsham et al. 1995; Filion…”
THE UPTAKE OF AMINO ACIDS BY MICROBES AND TREES IN THREE COLD‐TEMPERATE FORESTS (2005, background): “Second, nutrient uptake studies using excised roots typically exclude mycorrhizal fungi that can be very important to plant N capture (Abuzinadah and Read 1989, Hodge et al. 2001).”
The response of two Glomus mycorrhizal fungi and a fine endophyte to elevated atmospheric CO2, soil warming and drought (2004, background): “Mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic associations with plant roots: the fungus receives its carbon from the plant and provides the plant with nutrients (Hodge et al., 2001), especially P, and other benefits such as protection from pathogens (Newsham et al.”
Roles of arbuscular mycorrhizas in plant nutrition and growth: new paradigms from cellular to ecosystem scales. (2011, background): “The amounts of N captured could be up to 72% of the N in the patches (provided as glycine in this case), but this was only approximately 7% of the total plant N (58).”
The plastic plant: root responses to heterogeneous supplies of nutrients (2004, background): “, 1996) and mycorrhizal symbiont fungi of both the ectomycorrhizal (Bending & Read, 1995) and AM symbiosis (Mosse, 1959; Nicolson, 1959; St John et al., 1983a, 1983b; Hodge et al., 2001) can proliferate hyphae in nutrient-rich zones, often at the expense of growth elsewhere.”
Mycorrhizal diversity: Cause and effect? (2005, background): “…long been thought that AM fungi differ from EM fungi in their lack of ability to utilize organic forms of soil nutrients (Read, 1993), recent evidence suggests that some AM species can access organic phosphorus (Koide and Kabir, 2000) and organic nitrogen (Hawkins et al., 2000; Hodge et al., 2001).”
Plant root growth, architecture and function (2009, background): “However, there is now evidence that AMF can also capture and transfer N to their associated host plant (Govindarajulu et al. 2005) including from complex organic sources in the soil (Hodge et al. 2001).”
Progressive N limitation of plant response to elevated CO2: a microbiological perspective (2006, background): “Because AM fungi generally lack saprotrophic capacity (Read and Perez-Moreno 2003), enhancement of AM fungi is likely to stimulate SOM decomposition indirectly by increasing microbial activity (Hodge et al. 2001; Pendall et al. 2004; Tu et al. 2006).”
Decomposers in disguise: mycorrhizal fungi as regulators of soil C dynamics in ecosystems under global change (2008, background): “of C and N from patches of decomposing organic matter in microcosms (Hodge et al. 2001; Tu et al. 2006).”
