Mycorrhizal networks: Mechanisms, ecology and modelling (2012, neutral): “However, physiological source-sink gradients among plants are the norm in natural ecosystems, and resources transfer along these gradients, from enriched source plants to rapidly growing sink plants (Simard and Durall, 2004; Selosse et al., 2006; van der Heijden and Horton, 2009).”
Biotic plant–soil feedbacks across temporal scales (2013, background): “…are the focus of most feedback experiments, may be particularly susceptible to mortality caused by pathogens (e.g. Packer & Clay 2000; Hersh, Vilgalys & Clark 2012) or to growth promotion or suppression governed by the presence of an established mycorrhizal network (Van der Heijden & Horton 2009).”
Niche differentiation and expansion of plant species are associated with mycorrhizal symbiosis (2018, background): “EcM fungal network has been shown to be especially beneficial in the establishment stage of plant species (van der Heijden & Horton, 2009) and connecting into the common EcM fungal network may help seedlings to persist in unfavourable conditions (Bennett et al., 2017; Simard, 2009; Teste et al.,…”
Facilitation and biodiversity–ecosystem function relationships in crop production systems and their role in sustainable farming (2021, background): “…(indicating pathogen/pest attack) through mycorrhizal networks (Barto et al., 2012; Pirhofer- Walzl et al., 2012; Thilakarathna et al., 2016; Van der Heijden & Horton, 2009) More efficient resource use and reduced pathogen and pest burden and enhanced yields population's diet, which itself then…”
A meta-analysis of context-dependency in plant response to inoculation with mycorrhizal fungi. (2010, background): “In contrast, in a typical laboratory or field inoculation experiment colonization usually takes place from spores or fragmented mycelium (but see van der Heijden & Horton 2009).”
Mycorrhizal Networks Facilitate Tree Communication, Learning, and Memory (2018, background): “…strength or stress among plants (e.g., in photosynthetic rates, growth rates, nutrient content, age, defoliation by pathogens, insects or drought) influence transmission patterns (Simard and Durall 2004; Leake et al. 2004; Selosse et al. 2006; van der Heijden and Horton 2009; Song et al. 2010).”
Improving intercropping: a synthesis of research in agronomy, plant physiology and ecology. (2015, background): “…availability in legume intercrops occurs because competition for soil N from legumes is weaker than from other plants, or the nonlegumes obtain additional N from that released by legumes into the soil (Li et al., 2013; White et al., 2013b) or via mycorrhizal fungi (Van der Heijden & Horton, 2009).”
A role for below‐ground biota in plant–plant facilitation (2013, background): “Recent data have suggested a potential role of soil micro-organisms in facilitation that has been further explored for mycorrhizal associations (Van der Heijden & Horton 2009; Van der Putten 2009; Martínez-García & Pugnaire 2011; Montesinos-Navarro et al. 2012).”
Shrubs influence arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi communities in a semi-arid environment (2011, background): “…reports that did not find host specificity (Santos et al., 2006) and suggest that AMF association with plants may occur at higher hierarchical level such as the plant functional type or ecological group (Opik et al., 2009) and not necessarily at the species level (van der Heijden and Horton, 2009).”
