The world‐wide ‘fast–slow’ plant economics spectrum: a traits manifesto (2014, background): “Hodge and Fitter (2010) and Whiteside et al. 2012 similarly found AM fungi to be able to acquire organic N in both controlled settings and in a boreal forest, respectively.”
Role of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Plant Growth Regulation: Implications in Abiotic Stress Tolerance (2019, background): “Several studies have explained that AMF have the ability to absorb and transfer N to the nearby plants or host plants (Hodge and Storer, 2015; Battini et al., 2017; Turrini et al., 2018).”
Nitrogen‐induced acidification, not N‐nutrient, dominates suppressive N effects on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (2020, background): “In addition, AMF hyphae are N-rich and may compete against the host plant for N under N-limiting conditions (Hodge & Fitter, 2010; Püschel et al., 2016; Reynolds, Hartley, Vogelsang, Bever, & Schultz, 2005).”
The Ecology of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (2013, background): “…fungi do not enhance the acquisition of N when present at low levels in soil (Reynolds et al., 2005) but can make a significant contribution to plant N requirement (Hodge and Fitter, 2010), particularly in dry soils where mobility to the direct pathway via roots is restricted (Tobar et al., 1994).”
Occurrence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in mining-impacted sites and their contribution to ecological restoration: Mechanisms and applications (2017, background): “Further studies have confirmed AMF can obtain substantial amounts of N from decomposing organic materials such as bonemeal (Hodge and Fitter, 2010), and that the uptake from organic N could be important in AM symbiosis for both the plant and fungal partners (Leigh et al., 2009).”
Arbuscular mycorrhiza and soil nitrogen cycling (2012, background): “The N requirements of the AM fungus are known to be high (Hodge and Fitter, 2010) and this may complicate the interpretation of pot experiments.”
The Behavioral Ecology of Nutrient Foraging by Plants (2011, background): “These fungi acquire their own mineral nutrition through their own foraging behavior (Hodge & Fitter 2010), and we cannot assume that behavioral shifts in plants are necessarily to the www.annualreviews.org • Plant Foraging Behavior 297 A nn u.”
