Plant performance in stressful environments: interpreting new and established knowledge of the roles of arbuscular mycorrhizas (2009, background): “…has been most clearly demonstrated in pot and field studies for ectomycorrhizal plants, and evidence for its operation in AM systems is less clear (Allen 2007; Egerton-Warburton et al. 2007; Neumann and George 2004; Querejeta et al. 2003a; 2007a; Schoonmaker et al. 2007; Warren et al. 2008).”
Arbuscular Mycorrhiza — a Key Component of Sustainable Plant-Soil Ecosystems (2012, background): “Thus, consideration of the AM symbiosis is usually recommended in the establishment of plants in degraded soils (Skujins and Allen 1986; Stahl et al. 1988; Jasper et al. 1989; Cuenca et al. 1998b; Requena et al. 2001; Allen 2007; Barea et al. 2011).”
Ecological and functional roles of mycorrhizas in semi-arid ecosystems of Southeast Spain (2011, background): “Thus, mycorrhizal formation is an adaptive strategy which provides the plant with an increased ability for nutrient capture and cycling in soils with low nutrient availability, particularly in arid and semi-arid ecosystems (Allen, 2007).”
Evidence of hydraulic lift in a young beech and oak mixed forest using 18O soil water labelling (2011, background): “…could also contribute to the distribution of water between the roots of oak and beech since they share the same ectomycorrhizal fungus species (Buée et al. 2005; Courty et al. 2008); several trees can be interconnected by the same mycelium network (Kramer 1983; Simard et al. 1997; Allen 2007).”
Carbon flow from plant to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi is reduced under phosphorus fertilization (2017, background): “…AMFmay acquire P from soil more efficiently than do plant roots (e.g. due to the small diameter of their hyphae as compared to that of roots), and the plants might possibly have benefitted from the higher C efficiency of the AMF nutrient acquisition machinery (Allen 2007; Smith and Read 2008).”
Role of Mycorrhizal Symbioses in Phosphorus Cycling (2011, background): “Involvement of ECM in plant water uptake has been shown (Allen 2007; Plamboeck et al. 2007) and the mycorrhizas are also known to alleviate deficiencies in micronutrients such as zinc and copper.”
The interplay between microbial communities and soil properties (2023, positive): “between plants along their hyphae, and alter the distribution of water through the soil profile 82,83 .”
Dynamics of Fine Root, Fungal Rhizomorphs, and Soil Respiration in a Mixed Temperate Forest: Integrating Sensors and Observations (2008, background): “, 2005) dynamics, but few studies have coupled this information with ecosystem fl uxes such as water or carbon (Ruess et al., 2003; Misson et al., 2006; Allen, 2007; Allen et al., 2007; Vargas and Allen, 2008a).”
Biochar: Carbon Sequestration, Land Remediation, and Impacts on Soil Microbiology (2012, background): “…(Gundale and DeLuca, 2006) and decreases (Lehmann et al., 2003a) in, for example, available nitrogen, and increases in phosphorus (Garcia-Montiel et al., 2002) have been recorded following supplementations with the increases facilitated, in part, by the hyphae minimizing losses (Allen, 2007).”
Acquisition of phosphorus and other poorly mobile nutrients by roots. Where do plant nutrition models fail? (2011, background): “But neither the roots nor the root hairs can penetrate the smaller micropores, contrary to mycorrhizal fungal hyphal tips that are as small as 2 μm (Drew et al. 2003) and thus capable of growing into the largest ultramicropores (Allen 2007).”
Quantification of mycorrhizal water uptake via high-resolution on-line water content sensors (2011, background): “…the non-AMF treatment (9±5 cm−2) may provide an explanation because the possibility of bidirectional water flow in hyphae has recently been reported (Allen 2007; Querejeta et al. 2003); our observed increases in water content in the hyphal compartment, and especially the differential increases…”
Isotope fractionation during root water uptake by Acacia caven is enhanced by arbuscular mycorrhizas (2019, background): “The role of mycorrhizas in water movement is less well understood than their contribution to carbon and nutrient cycles (Allen 2007).”
The Ecology of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (2013, background): “, 2006), N (Cheng and Baumgartner, 2004; Motosugi and Terashima, 2006) and water (Allen, 2007), between inter- and intra-specific host plant above-ground tissues via AM fungal hyphae, a facilitative function that may profoundly affect plant relationships (Selosse et al.”
