Studies of Mycorrhizal Fungi of Chinese Orchids and Their Role in Orchid Conservation in China—A Review (2010, background): “Up to now, it is not known how widespread this pattern of mycorrhizal switching is in the orchid family as demonstrated in G. elata (Rasmussen & Rasmussen, 2009).”
Green desert?: Biodiversity patterns in forest plantations (2019, background): “Trees and hymenopterans preferred large amounts of spruce, and a similar response was interesting in the case of fungi with mycorrhiza because such fungi should be predicted to have poor dispersal relative to other taxa (Rasmussen and Rasmussen, 2009).”
Do mycorrhizal symbioses cause rarity in orchids? (2011, background): “Most species establish photosynthesis but remain reliant on the fungus for carbon and nutrients to varying extents (Cameron, Leake & Read 2006; Rasmussen & Rasmussen 2009).”
Spatial variation in below‐ground seed germination and divergent mycorrhizal associations correlate with spatial segregation of three co‐occurring orchid species (2012, background): “In orchids, germination and establishment of seedlings are crucially dependent on orchid mycorrhiza (Bidartondo & Read 2008; Smith & Read 2008; Rasmussen & Rasmussen 2009; Dearnaley, Martos & Selosse 2012); therefore, the availability of suitable mycorrhizal fungi may explain the above-ground…”
