Roles of Arbuscular Mycorrhizas in Plant Phosphorus Nutrition: Interactions between Pathways of Phosphorus Uptake in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Roots Have Important Implications for Understanding and Manipulating Plant Phosphorus Acquisition1 (2011, background): “In many cases, it appears that cluster root formation may be an alternative strategy to AM formation, as in most Proteaceae and also white lupin (Lupinus albus), but some plants, such as Casuarina, develop both cluster roots and AM (Lambers et al., 2008).”
Foliar nitrogen and phosphorus accumulation responses after fertilization: an example from nutrient-limited Hawaiian forests (2010, background): “It is noteworthy that separate adaptations exist for maximizing N and P uptake (Wassen et al. 2005; Lambers et al. 2008) and thus it may be valuable to think about N- and Plimitation not just as infertile stressful conditions for plants, but as two fundamentally different phenomena.”
Species‐ and community‐level patterns in fine root traits along a 120 000‐year soil chronosequence in temperate rain forest (2011, background): “There is therefore a need to examine root trait variation among species and communities and how this changes along environmental gradients (e.g. Craine et al. 2005; Liu et al. 2010), particularly of soil fertility (Coomes & Grubb 2000; Lambers et al. 2008).”
Evolutionary Legacy Effects on Ecosystems: Biogeographic Origins, Plant Traits, and Implications for Management in the Era of Global Change (2016, background): “They secrete organic acids that solubilize mineral-bound phosphorus and phosphatase enzymes that mobilize organically bound phosphorus (Lambers et al. 2008, Neumann & Martinoia 2002, Skene 2000).”
Influence of Environmental Variability on Root Dynamics in Northern Forests (2009, background): “, 2001 ; Hungate et al. , 2003 ; Lambers et al.”
EVOLUTIONARY PATTERNS AND BIOGEOCHEMICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF ANGIOSPERM ROOT TRAITS (2012, neutral): “…or facultatively mycorrhizal plants are often special cases, limited either to a few rare cases of plants adapted to extreme habitats—such as Cyperaceae and Proteacea—or to short-lived herbaceous vegetation, such as Brassicaceae (Peat and Fitter 1993; Lambers et al. 2008; Brundrett 2009).”
Diverse Mycorrhizal Associations Enhance Terrestrial C Storage in a Global Model (2019, background): “…and conceptual understanding have challenged the paradigm underlying previous assessments by showing that plants are not passive recipients of soil N released by decomposition, but instead are active drivers of soil N cycling (Cheng et al., 2014; Drake et al., 2011; Lambers et al., 2008).”
Functional distinctiveness of major plant lineages (2014, background): “…to extract resources in low-fertility contexts: some Proteaceae have specialized cluster roots to remove P from occluded forms in old soils (Lambers et al. 2008) while root symbioses with Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes are common within both Ericaceae and Acrogymnospermae (Cornelissen et…”
Biotic plant–soil feedbacks across temporal scales (2013, background): “…soils where the little remaining P is poorly available (e.g. south-western Australia), species-rich communities can be found that are characterized by a high proportion of non-mycorrhizal plant species that develop dense, short-lived specialized roots that mobilise P (Lambers et al. 2008).”
Resource partitioning for soil phosphorus: a hypothesis (2008, background): “It should be noted, however, that proteoid-root forming species adapted to infertile soils do not usually associate with mycorrhizas ( Lambers et al . 2008 ), yet they synthesize phosphatase enzymes and appear able to readily exploit soil organic phosphorus (Adams & Pate 1992; Watts & Evans 1999).”
The world‐wide ‘fast–slow’ plant economics spectrum: a traits manifesto (2014, background): “Soil substrate age gradients may be particularly notable at regional scales (Vitousek, Turner & Kitayama 1995; Lambers et al. 2008, 2013), especially along soil chronosequences which serve as powerful model systems (e.g. Vitousek, Turner & Kitayama 1995; Richardson et al. 2004; Lalibert e et al.…”
The roles of environmental filtering and colonization in the fine‐scale spatial patterning of ground‐layer plant communities in north temperate deciduous forests (2011, background): “Soil phosphorus becomes progressively depleted with substrate age, thus phosphorous limitation is generally thought to be less important in northern temperate zones than in older, weathered soils of the tropics (Walker & Syers 1976; Vitousek & Farrington 1997; Lambers et al. 2008).”
Acquisition of phosphorus and other poorly mobile nutrients by roots. Where do plant nutrition models fail? (2011, background): “Regarding P nutrition, except in the most extremely impoverished situations (e.g. in ancient, highly weathered soils of some regions of the world—see Lambers et al. 2008) the contribution of mycorrhizal fungi appears as a key determinant through the operation of the mycorrhizal pathway.”
Nitrogen fixation in legumes and actinorhizal plants in natural ecosystems: values obtained using 15N natural abundance (2011, background): “Also, most legumes and actinorhizal plants are mycorrhizal, and it is likely that they can access soluble organic N in the soil (Lambers et al. 2008; Sprent 2009).”
Microbially Mediated Plant Functional Traits (2011, background): “Mycorrhizal fungi (see Chapter 43) can extract phosphorus and nitrogen from soil and transfer these resources to host plants (Smith et al., 2009; Lambers et al., 2008); on average, inoculation with AMF increases plant growth by 45% in pot experiments though there is not an overall significant…”
