• Root system size and precision in nutrient foraging: responses to spatial pattern of nutrient supply in six herbaceous species (2001, background): “There was no evidence from any species to support the prediction that mycorrhizal association leads to lower precision in root placement in heterogeneous conditions (hypothesis 4a, also see Tibbett 2000).”
• The role of arbuscular mycorrhizas in improving plant zinc nutrition under low soil zinc concentrations: a review (2008, background): “There is some evidence to suggest that the extraradical hyphae of AMF colonise and exploit organic and inorganic nutrient patches (Cavagnaro et al. 2005; Facelli and Facelli 2002; St John et al. 1983; Tibbett 2000).”
• Simulating form and function of root systems: efficiency of nitrate uptake is dependent on root system architecture and the spatial and temporal variability of nitrate supply (2004, background): “and future whole-plant efficiency and fitness (Eissenstat & Yanai 1997; Tibbett 2000; Dunbabin et al. 2003).”
• The Behavioral Ecology of Nutrient Foraging by Plants (2011, background): “Mycorrhizal associations are often described as mutualisms that are less costly to plants than the production of fine roots (Fitter 1991) and in which fungal hyphae serve as simple extensions of plant roots (Cui & Caldwell 1996, Tibbett 2000).”
• Arbuscular Mycorrhizas, Microbial Communities, Nutrient Availability, and Soil Aggregates in Organic Tomato Production (2006, background): “Such improvements in plant nutrition are of particular significance in soils of low nutrient status (Hetrick, 1991; Menge, 1983) and heterogeneous nutrient distribution (Cavagnaro et al., 2005; Tibbett, 2000), but may also be important for soils receiving frequent organic matter inputs as the primar”
