Mycorrhizal networks: a review of their extent, function, and importance (2004, background): “We and others argue, however, that C transferred to the ectomycorrhizal fungi of the receiver plant, even without transfer into plant tissues, is still a subsidy to the nutrient-gathering system of the plant (Perry 1998; Simard et al. 2002) that potentially can affect plant community dynamics (Bever”
Exploring functional definitions of mycorrhizas: Are mycorrhizas always mutualisms? (2004, background): “Mycorrhizal stimulation of nutrient uptake is attributed to (i) uptake by fungi from soil beyond the depletion zones that can develop around roots, (ii) production of degradative extracellular enzymes or organic acids by the fungi, and (or) (iii) the ability of fungi to translocate nutrients faster ”
From peds to paradoxes: linkages between soil biota and their influences on ecological processes. (2008, background): “Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) are similarly influential in affecting nutrient uptake, affecting uptake via flow through the Hartig net (the interface between the plant and the fungus) or traveling through the apoplast of the fungal mantle (Simard et al., 2002).”
Arbuscular mycorrhizae and terrestrial ecosystem processes (2004, background): “Additionally, in the field AMF and plant communities likely form common mycelial networks (Simard et al. 2002; Booth 2004; van der Heijden 2004) ; these networks, providing linkages between roots of different plant species, representing pathways of nutrient exchange, and meditating competitive…”
Long‐term experimental manipulation of climate alters the ectomycorrhizal community of Betula nana in Arctic tundra (2011, background): “The small size and profuse growth of hyphae in soils often lead to as much as 60 times the absorptive area of hyphae relative to fine roots (Simard et al., 2002), and given this difference, hyphal N uptake should dominate root uptake in tundra and forest soils (Hobbie & Hobbie, 2008).”
Presence and identity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi influence competitive interactions between plant species (2007, background): “Transfer of carbon and nutrients from one plant to another via such hyphal networks has even been reported (Grime et al. 1987; Newman 1988; Simard et al. 2002).”
Networks of power and influence: the role of mycorrhizal mycelium in controlling plant communities and agroecosystem functioning (2004, background): “They also transfer nutrients and C between plants interlinked by the same mycelial network (Simard et al. 2002).”
The addition of labile carbon alters litter fungal communities and decreases litter decomposition rates (2009, background): “Field studies showed that EM mycelium is a very important or even a dominant pathway through which labile carbon enters the SOM pool (Simard et al., 2002; Godbold et al., 2006).”
Different soil moisture conditions change the outcome of the ectomycorrhizal symbiosis between Rhizopogon species and Pinus muricata (2007, background): “In these conditions, ECM plants are usually larger and/or have higher nutrient content than nonmycorrhizal plants (see Simard et al. 2002 for review).”
