• Nitrogen isotopes in ectomycorrhizal sporocarps correspond to belowground exploration types (2010, background): “Under such conditions, a greater proportion of net primary production is diverted belowground (Agren and Bosatta 1996; Waring and Running 1998 )a nd allocation to ectomycorrhizal fungi also increases ( Hobbie 2006 ).”
• Out of the Palaeotropics? Historical biogeography and diversification of the cosmopolitan ectomycorrhizal mushroom family Inocybaceae (2009, background): “Recent research into the biodiversity of ECM fungi from the tropics indicates that they are routinely underestimated regarding their occurrence and importance (Taylor & Alexander, 2005).”
• Evaluation of methods to estimate production, biomass and turnover of ectomycorrhizal mycelium in forests soils : A review (2013, background): “The characterized ECM morphotypes represent about 5% of known fungi that can form ectomycorrhiza (Taylor and Alexander, 2005), the number of which is estimated to be 5000e6000 fungal species (Agerer, 2006).”
• Ectomycorrhizal fungal diversity: seperating the wheat from the chaff (2008, background): “…ECM fungi, while retaining some limited saprotrophic ability that allows them, in temperate regions, to survive winter in the absence of a carbon flow and during the dying off of fine roots, are competitively inferior to saprotrophic fungi (Taylor and Alexander, 2005; but cf Koide et al., 2008).”
• Fungal Community Ecology: A Hybrid Beast with a Molecular Master (2008, background): “In fact, fungal hyphae often account for the greatest fraction of soil biomass (Wardle 2002) and can reach lengths of hundreds to thousands of meters per gram of soil (Taylor and Alexander 2005).”
• The Role of the Mycorrhizal Symbiosis in Nutrient Uptake of Plants and the Regulatory Mechanisms Underlying These Transport Processes (2012, background): “There are approximately 7000 to 10000 fungal species and 8000 plant species that form ectomycorrhizal (ECM) associations [29].”
• Natural Abundance of 15N in Nitrogen-Limited Forests and Tundra Can Estimate Nitrogen Cycling Through Mycorrhizal Fungi: A Review (2008, background): “One argument against a large role for roots in uptake is the nearly complete colonization (95–100%) of fine roots by ectomycorrhizal fungi (Hobbie and others 2001; Taylor and Alexander 2005), so that almost all soil-derived N must pass through fungal hyphae prior to entering the plant.”
• Role of Mycorrhizal Symbioses in Phosphorus Cycling (2011, background): “2008), though under natural conditions its widespread realization has recently been questioned (Baldrian 2009; Taylor and Alexander 2005).”
