Rhizosphere Spatiotemporal Organization–A Key to Rhizosphere Functions (2018, background): “…although it has been discussed for soils (Phillips, 1998; Young and Crawford, 2004; Lavelle et al., 2016), soil-microbe complexes (Young and Crawford, 2004), mycorrhizal networks (Simard, 2009), microbial biofilms Frontiers in Agronomy | www.frontiersin.org 4 July 2020 | Volume 2 | Article 8”
Back to Roots: The Role of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi in Boreal and Temperate Forest Restoration (2020, background): “The presence of hosts patches nearby can also act as a source of fungal spores, which can increase EMF colonization of new seedlings and hence their nutrient and water uptake (Colinas et al., 1994; Simard, 2009; Van Der Heijden and Horton, 2009, Figure 1B).”
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., 201”
Mycorrhizal networks: Mechanisms, ecology and modelling (2012, unknown): “Mycorrhizal networks can thus be considered fundamental agents of self-organization in ecosystems because they provide direct avenues through which cross-scale interactions and feedbacks are played out (Simard, 2009).”
