VARIATION IN PLANT RESPONSE TO NATIVE AND EXOTIC ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI (2003, background): “…in their abilities to influence plant growth, it is currently not possible to categorize them along the parasite–mutualist continuum because not all infected plants seem to do ‘‘best’’ with the same AMF (Sanders and Fitter 1992, van der Heijden et al. 1998a, Kiers et al. 2000, Klironomos 2000).”
Native arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities differentially influence the seedling performance of rare and common Pulsatilla species (2004, unknown): “The only exceptions known to us are pot experiments showing differential plant growth in the presence of natural soil or root inocula of different origin (Johnson 1993; Kiers et al . 2000; Corkidi et al . 2002; Frank et al . 2003).”
Endophytic fungi alter relationships between diversity and ecosystem properties (2004, background): “Mycorrhizal fungi have received the most attention, as mycorrhizal associations can affect the composition of plant communities (Kiers et al. 2000; Hartnett & Wilson 2002) and the success of invasive species (Richardson et al.”
Hierarchical patterns of symbiotic orchid germination linked to adult proximity and environmental gradients (2007, background): “The majority of studies linking recruitment to biotic factors fall within the context of testing for negative distance or density-dependence, often in the context of the Janzen‐ Connell hypothesis (Janzen 1970; Connell 1971; Nathan & Casagrandi 2004), but much less is known about how mutualisms may ”
The influence of spatial patterns of damping‐off disease and arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization on tree seedling establishment in Ghanaian tropical forest soil (2004, background): “AM fungi associated with host trees have been found to have varying effects on growth of conspecific seedlings, with both negative effects (Kiers et al. 2000) and improved growth responses observed (Onguene 2000).”
IMPACTS OF EARLY- AND LATE-SERAL MYCORRHIZAE DURING RESTORATION IN SEASONAL TROPICAL FOREST, MEXICO (2003, background): “…trees had similarly high positive responses to early-seral inoculum, unlike other studies where either the early-seral trees (Siquiera et al. 1998, Kiers et al. 2000, Zangaro et al. 2000) or the late-seral trees (Janos 1980b, Huante et al. 1993) derived greater growth benefits from inoculation.”
