Why are plant–soil feedbacks so unpredictable, and what to do about it? (2018, background): “…play a critical role in understanding ecosystem functioning, and research efforts in a number of fields are increasingly targeting PSF as a key driver of observed processes (Bennett et al., 2017; Mariotte et al., 2018; Teste et al., 2017; van der Putten, Bradford, Brinkman, Voorde, & Veen, 2016).”
Niche differentiation and expansion of plant species are associated with mycorrhizal symbiosis (2018, background): “…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., 2017) and help them later, in the adult stage, to take advantage of more light when reaching the…”
How mycorrhizal associations drive plant population and community biology (2020, background): “In natural and experimental conditions, NM and AM plants experience more negative feedback from their soil biota compared with EcM plants, suggesting that EcM fungi protect plant root systems relativelymore efficiently, comparedwith other mycorrhizal guilds (13, 17, 18).”
Agricultural intensification reduces microbial network complexity and the abundance of keystone taxa in roots (2018, background): “The widespread symbiosis of AMF and the array of benefits rendered by these fungi are 54 now well-established [32, 33].”
